That looks great. When you say 5 X 10. Is 10' the length of the trailer or is it the size of the tear?

That's the size of the tear from tip to tip, so the base of the trailer is somewhat shorter at around 8'8". plus the tongue.

Thanks Tony,

If not, we'll be there in the DragonFly.

Looking forward to one of your famous margaritas. We are coming down on Thursday now. We figured since it was such a long drive, we'd just make a long stay. We'll leave there on Monday.

So 5 tall and 10 long correct. I love the design. Is this considered a Mondernaire design like 2 bits?

10 long, 5 wide, and 4 tall..... It is pretty close to the Modernaire profile.

Good grief Mark. I didn't realize that you had this under construction. Wished I had taken the opportunity to talk to you more at Madison. Very cool build. And thanks again for coming to Indiana. :thumbsup:

Thanks for your hospitality. It was one of the best gatherings Pat and I have been at. I'm still full from breakfast this morning! :lol:

As Pat says, having another build keeps me off the streets, and she always knows where to find me.....
