Phat, you guys have a good safe trip. I love that GPS you got there! Nice!

Also, you seem to have everything in order with your trailer - you shouldn't have much worry over a flat tire or 3.

lol why so many spare tires? hell i dont even have ONE

I never had any tire trouble until a couple of years ago. i had Goodyear marathons that came with the trailer. they looked great, lotsa tread, etc. anyway i blew 2 going down, not a big deal, i have everything to do it quick. the bad thing is when i used the spare, i didn't feel comfortable until i had replaced it. so i spent about 3 hours pulling on & off the turnpike hunting one. this way, i have 3 shots in my gun before I have to reload.
i'm sure its overkill
i also have 4 spare hubs that are greased & packed with new bearings
hope i don't need any of them..........

It pays to be prepared. I trailered about 260 miles last weekend, then had a flat tire in the driveway the next afternoon? Glad it went down at home instead of on the roadside when it was 100*....and yes, I had the spare and tolls to change it out.

slot, that just means you had some good karma coming you way. i'll never complain about trouble in the driveway. had a friend that drove a fifthwheel rig from key west to the house in one day (750 miles), parked out front, went to bed. got up the next day to move it & broke a crankshaft in the motor..

Looking good and it's the perfect time of the year to go get some Dolphin (dorado) in the Florida Keys. Don't forget your polarized sunglasses. You all will have a great time! Were a you staying at?
