Thanks, but not interested in a trade.

Will do. Right now it is broken down and unusable until a repair is done. The big problem is that there is currently no US repair service available, and the repair may be beyond the ability of a shade tree mechanic like myself. We shall see what we shall see when the weather warms up and I recover from a total knee replacement scheduled for the end of February.

Dutch - been thru two total knee replacements. Give yourself a good 6 weeks. I remember with my first knee that my Eezi-Awn Globetrotter showed up about a week or so after the surgery. Killed me not being able to do much. As I felt decent, with cane in one hand and hammer in the other I took the crate it came in apart...much to my wife's dismay and then recruited my son and brothers in law to hoist it up onto my trailer! Wife was pissed! I felt fine and no damage done.
All the best with your surgery. Get yourself in as good a shape as possible with any presurgical exercises, stretching, bike, etc. that you can tolerate then do everything PT wants you doing as many times in a day as they say! Good luck!!

Brent, Thanks for the encouragement. I had a partial Knee replacement in Feb 2012, followed by a revision to a total knee replacement in Oct 2015. The upcoming total is is for the other knee.
Yes, at 6 weeks I can be moving around pretty well, but not doing contortions and or any heavy lifting. Also, getting down and crawling around on the ground and under the van will probably have to wait a few more weeks. Definitely not looking forward to it.

Hope the repairs (on you and the trailer) work out. We have been considering that very trailer for a couple of years, too bad I didn't see this post last summer.

Be glad you didn't buy. It would have broken right after you bought it.
Yikes, that doesn't bode well for the trailer. Did something major break?
