Re: [A/S] Re: Back From Walt's



Hi Patti,

Tell me about it. I did that back in SC when the Hensley was new.   I kept 
trying to pull out but it kept coming with me. Grrr.... I went through a few 
sets of those little cheap yellow wheel chocks.   finally put a 6 X 6 under 
the wheels and pulled the trailer over it!!

I called Colin (owner of Hensley) I was furious..... I was in 
tears...........He said, "Did you remember to wind the jacks back down."

<THUD>

"No", I said sheepishly......

Another time I did wind the jacks down and still couldn't pull out. I was 
crazed.....  I kept backing the trailer back into the barn it lived in and it 
kept coming out with me.  I finally backed it in, chocked it like crazy and 
floored the Suburban.... that did the trick. I heard the crash.

I got out of the truck and went to check and see what that noise was..... the 
Hensley was on the ground with the trailer still attached. Oops..... forgot 
to put the jack stand down, no wonder it kept coming with me. /-:
