Huh. Shows you how much attention I pay to trailers -- and my wife complains because I snap my head looking at semis when I'm driving =))
OTOH, in this case that might be a good thing, other than the rub rails would be waaay out, to scale anyway. Only be like 10mm or something, but still.
Anyway, thanks, and food for thought.
