[AT] driver convenience systems Now winch remote control

Thu Jan 30 06:26:20 PST 2020

Hi Carl: Yeah, a 95 degree day and a hard to handle load can have that
effect...  :-)
Fortunately I have not even used that trailer for several years. If
something heavy needs hauled son Scott  just does it. I do "plan" to use it
this year though to haul to Portland IN behind my old motorhome. I
shouldn't need the crank for that.  :-)
