MAKE DANG SURE!!!

Sorry to hear about that Shane, but luckily you didn't get the usual "big dents" in the bed rail. Like others have said, I raise the jacks about 2 inches off the ground and with the trailer brakes engaged I give her a nudge just to make sure. I also don't move the trailer without the safety pin in the handle. I'm just a nervous Nelly type but I guess it pays dividends that you can't really appreciate until something like this happens.

I'm with you, Matt. I'm a bit OCD about my routine when hooking up and dropping off. I have a whole routine that I follow and I try not to let anyone "help" me, so that I don't forget or miss a step. Knock on wood-it's worked successfully thus far...

It happened to me also. I dropped the 5'r into the bed of my 98 Dodge (BF = Before Ford). You are now a member of the "dropped 5'r club" Welcome and DON'T try to apply for membership more than once!!

OUCH SHANE!

I've heard of many people (local) that have trusted someone else and WHAMO! Sorry that happened to you!

Thats the key. I will let people think they are helping me but in reality I'm in my own state of mind. Another bad one is when people try to help you hook up.
