Bob, Not sure about honoring trailer licensing, but the law is very clear about concealed gun permits and whether a state will honor the one you were issued. Below is an interactive link where you can actually click on the state that issued you your permit and then it will indicate which states will honor that permit. Good info to know if you are "packing" and traveling. http://www.usacarry.com/concealed_carry_permit_reciprocity_maps.html |

Good points! My boat is small, and I only tow it to the nearby Indian River and the boat ramps at Port Canaveral. The entire outfit is probably under 2000# which is not a problem here in Florida. I never thought about it, but it might be illegal in other states??? I have noticed that all of the larger boat trailers around here have surge brakes, as do all the rental trailers. For several years I towed my Honda on a dolly behind my motor home. I normally traveled between Indiana and Florida, and was never stopped. Maybe it is because the presence or absence of electric trailer brakes are hard to detect by law enforcement. Off the subject, but in June I lost the license plate on my trailer in the strong cross-winds while I was entering Nevada. I reported the loss to the North Las Vegas police department to document the lost plate. On our way home, about 2500 miles away, we were never stopped for having no plate although several state,county and local police passed us on the road. We were even stopped by Homeland Security at one of their check points and nothing was said about not having a plate on the trailer. Sometimes I think the police don't want to bother with petty infractions. Bob |

You bring back a a lot of memories Bob. We lived in Port St. John from 79-81. At the time it was still very undeveloped, in fact people used to drive down the paved roads in the back of the development while they were hunting. I ran the 7-Eleven stores in Brevard County in "another life".

Skip the walk through, save your money. If you cannot figure something out, leave it alone and ask this list. These guys and gals know everything. Just remember, if you have full hookups, keep your valves SHUT! Then dump black, followed by gray. You cannot just leave it all open and not have "piles' in the tank. You never get that advice in a walk through. |

You never get that advice in a walk through." We did when we got our walk through. I bet it depends on the dealer. We have a great dealer who helped quite a bit. The big trouble was me remembering it all. |

The rule is to keep the black tank shut, you can keep the gray tank open until you get close to the time to dump the black tank. Then get a few showers into the gray tank with it closed and use that to flush the tube after dumping the black tank. Otherwise you would fill the gray tank every 2 days while the black tank can take up to a week, so you would have to dump the gray multiple times. No worries with sludge building up by keeping the gray tank open.
