Brenda, would you please measure from floor to ceiling for me? We are leaving for TX in a few mins as the shipper called and has to leave our trailer at a hotel as the roadside wall dropped and the trailer is leaning:( We`re going to try to bring her home with braces etc.

Unfortunately I do not keep my trailer here at home, I am trying to reach my friend who keeps it on his property so I can get the measurements for you.

Brenda,
I have bookmarked your blog (somehow I missed this link on the 'old' board and will settle in to read it from start to finish. So happy to 'see' so many familiar faces here.
OMG - Susan. I can't believe the trailer fell part on the road. That stinks. I hope she posts soon.

Wow, Brendaleeoc, I just finished reading your blog. Nicely done! I wish I had read it before I got to see Ellie Mae at the Murphy gathering yesterday. Super meeting you and great job on your trailer. She's a cutie.

Hi Friends,
My curiousity got me on this one as I was researching something. This thread is 8 years old, but wondering if boandsusan can share what happened after the braces were built and did you get the trailer home.
Any idea what caused the wall to fall off?
Cheers,
Rod
