unless you have a trailer with furniture connected like that of the 1960s era
trailers... end walls supporting cabinets, etc. then pull it slowly as in 15 or
20mph or less.  if you have unsupported cabinetry (as in the mid-late 70s
kitchen overheads (falling off the wall in mine)) forget it!!!

you have no idea what a rough road does to a trailer until you ride in it.

in fact, get your partner to pull the trailer down teh alley (unpaved right?)
and you get in the trailer.  if you can, find an unpaved section road as we call
them in West Texas... and do it for a longer time.  oh, be sure you have linking
communications.  you will want out of there within about 5 minutes.

it is a real eye opener.   just don't do it!!  or else, throw the trailer away
when you complete the trip.

fwiw
