"The only thing I don’t like about the (Featherlite) trailer is that I forget it’s back there. It pulls so good. Since it’s so light, I have to watch myself when I’m passing to make sure I have enough room to pull back in. It’s a great trailer and with the aluminum, I haven’t had to do anything to it.”
