Just an f250. Trailer leveled out really well and it pulled true. The truck isn't as squatted as it appears in the pic. It will do for a couple trips per year.

That's to much driving....just find a place and enjoy! We'll be there Wednesday afternoon

Yea, probably should look into it. We'll see, not like there isn't a limited amount of rooms with in a short drive anyway. Let me see what work looks like as I get closer.

And no, Asheville isn't that close, bout an hour and a half. But, close enough I've never stayed at Townsend in the past, I've always driven back and forth. Was thinking I would stay this time around though. Always tough decision, my Alumni weekend always falls on the same weekend, so seeing old friends, a round of golf, playing in the Alumni v. kids basketball game Sat. night is usually a must. And yea, we Alumni have beaten the kids last 3 years running.;D

I've never trailered the Bronco to SC before. Will there be somewhere at the site to stage my trailer? The cabin where we are staying does not have room.

bbow, in the past there has been a large field, for trailer parking, next door to the show field. With the expected attendance it may get crowded but there is another field that they can use as well, it's on the opposite side of the Tally Ho, couple of hundred yards!!;D;D

NICE trailer. A friend of mine bought a trailer somewhat like that, then found out it wasn't wide enough for the Bronco or the Explorer by a few inches. They ended up taking the fenders off and then after loading the rigs put the fenders back on. So to others thinking about this, watch out for the width of the trailer. I thought they were all the same but I know differently now.

I'm going to SC this year, first time and pretty excited! Unfortunately I wont have my ride ready but I plan on being there late Thursday night and all day Friday. I don't know if anyone would want to adopt me and a buddy for one of the trail rides on Friday? If so we'd def appreciate it and help chip in for gas and hook you up with a shirt! Let me know!
