Scott....not to worry. No offense taken.

Fred....I was waiting to hear more about your using the U-haul. I can get my hands on a U-haul Motorcycle trailer, but I'm also going to go out and check on what's available a little larger. I kick myself for not having done that when I was at U-haul. I do have four straps I bought from U-haul and I am not opposed to buying two more if it is warranted.

Bob.....I'm not using my RAV4 for the trip. I'm going to use my son-in-laws Dodge Ram. Big truck and big power. Last year on our trip to Eureka Springs with my wife and luggage my RAV4 did just fine until I got to the hills outside of Eureka and then things started to bog down. Didn't expect that to happen, but remembering that itdid, I wouldn't go with using my RAV4 because of that.
