This is great idea Ian. Perhaps a primary and back-up for the small trailer at
all launches and primary and back-up for the large trailer for ROCstocks.
Thank you for doing this.

Michael,
Not sure I have quite worked out how this works but I am sure we will!

Ian,
I thought I had December but David Smith is in there so I created a backup and
put myself in there. If you can see my changes then we're good.
Thanks,
Mike

Richard and trailer towing volunteers,
Great news and many thanks for stepping up for the trailer towing.
I will create an online sign up form and send a link with your details.

I can tow in October with no problem.
My trailer weighs in a just under 5000 pounds ready to go, so the small trailer
should be no problem. Especially on such a short distance.
Is the ball in the trailer? I can bring one if needed. What kind of electrical
connection?
I have a standard 2" receiver and standard electrical connections.

When anyone tries, I plan on being there to help. Also, we should always have
a back-up trailer hauler.
A 2900 lb limit is often listed for single axle trailers because over that
weight the trailer should have brakes. So, over 2900 lbs. a controller on the
towing vehicle is needed to operate the electric brakes on the trailer. The
most important thing is not
getting the trailer going, it's stopping it!
The small ROC trailer will always be under 2900 lbs. and Kurt and I are
continuing to reduce the weight of the trailer and make set-up easier and
faster.

Hello Greg:
Just Mike Klett so far. Not sure about your Highlander. It would be best to
check your owner's manual or other on-line documentation. Currently, I
estimate the trailer at 2500 lbs. I'm going to get a tongue weight in
September.
Ground clearance on the towing vehicle is going to be important because of the
ruts on the lakebed and enough power & traction for the soft spots.
Richard
Online info says my car will tow 3500 lb. And the electric drive has pretty
good torque. I think I’m probably in to give it a try one of these months.
