I went for a drive in Oregon yesterday. While there I backed into
something. Didn't think much about it, but I guess it stuck and I
ended up dragging it all the way home. Imagine my surprise when I
arrived home and saw this hanging off my rear bumper:

Mai Toyota wouldn't even get off square one. But I am jealous, I really
like that flop down rear for your roll around toys. The original owner
not missing it?

You should really do a walk-around inspection of your vehicle before
you hit the road. I hear that stuff like that can blow right over on
the road if you're not careful, and when you don't even realize it's
back there, well, that's just scary.
Since it followed you home, I guess you might as well use it though.
Did you sell the ALJO?

I started to do a walk-around, but whacked my shin on something as
soon as I rounded the back of the truck. Enough of that, it's
dangerous back there...

I suppose you guys have the ultimate combo toyhauler/conventional
travel trailer, you just lack the rear ramp door. I've never seen
anyone pack a TT the way you guys can. Sooner or later you'll probably
have a quad, can't wait to see how you get that through the door. :)

No, it has a few issues to fix that we have learned to put up with but
might make it a hard sell. The heater fan motor make noise for the
first minute or so, then it's fine. One of the fender-well trim pieces
is history. You can't just push the door shut, you have to cycle the
handle for it to latch and the AC hasn't worked in years.
My son is starting to brew beer, his first idea was to turn it into a
mobile brewery. I told him to come get it, but of course he lives in
FLA and drives a Malibu...

Not bad for a random catch... you should take up fishing or play the
lottery.
