Subject: Vs: WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Europa Trailer Mishaps
I used to trail heavy neon-signs all over the country. The only way to guarantee
the safe and prompt delivery was using two shaft /axle trailer with four tires.
The loss of one tire did not feel so catastrophic then. Once we were little
hurry and drove about 160 km/h with trailer and suddenly we saw one tire
revolving
and passing our car. We continued with three tires in our trailer.
If my Europa will be trailed one day, I hope there is at least 4 tires!
