Back from a mini vacation, we took a few rigs to the Outer Banks here in NC. Great weather (until sat night), everyone had a blast!

I just realized that we were in your neck of the woods a couple weeks ago. My wife and I drove from here in MN to visit her parents in Georgetown, SC. On they way down we took I-40 to I-26. I wish I wouldn't have realized earlier, and I would have driven by.

Oh well, we'll be going down again, maybe even in my Ford van.

still not sure why you took the sherpa off the back and made a trailer. The two times you've posted it here, the flat deck was empty, and having a trailer is not ideal in the woods or sand.

I’m guessing that the link suspension is suited more for flex than load carrying.
The Sherpa is probably pretty heavy.

Yea we're 4 miles from I-26 at the airport! Swing by next time!

The Sherpa weighs 2k, the new suspension isn't setup for that kind of weight. I don't want to be swapping springs when I use it and now I can pull it behind V7 if I want to take the kids out. And..... I can leave the trailer set up and go have fun with V4. This past weekend we used it as the bathroom shuttle and it was used to rescue 3 different rigs over the weekend. So, the trailer works better for me at this stage of my life.
