I will have to agree that sales were good and people were good though I did one person tell me a "incident" he had earlier when he said thanks but no on a piece he looked at and the dealer told him "f you" (and the full version not the short I typed). Yea I understand that a week of lets call them tire kickers can be rough that should really never happen especially for what I dealt with this guy (that nice soft spoken grandfather type).

So after leaving from Hershey one year ( just shopping) I went to Bird Of Hand to pick up a piece I bought and the Amish kid that I was buying it from told me these wise words..... ”Children who lie grow up to be weathermen”

I love the sound of tin cans and it is such a great idea. As stated it is part of the Hershey experience.

Thule “took over” Cargo Pro our of Maine. I have 2 03 Cargo Pro’s and they are great. I think Snopro is in the building now and it is not the same ( by a long shot). For newly made my vote is hands down InTech.

Where in Ct? Also will you be able to pick it up before we go in to set up? We had our spots “moved” so now do not have the neighbors space we used to buy. Oh our company name Das Bulli Haus and are legal for hire haulers with a 7 foot tall door on our trailer. Thanks

I too winch on and off. I use a Super Winch “ winch to go” which is a 4,500 lb winch in a tool box mounted to a plate that you can mount to your floor or use the straps and u bolts included to “ tie off” to something. The wireless remote and winch does cost more than Harbor Freight but is much more precise. If you are still are still looking for “ risers” search for “ ramp overs”. Race guys use them so look in that world.

For your question on how to tie down that is an question that can’t be easily answered. There are many different setups out there and a lot depends on what you are moving and what “issues” you have. Basically you need 4 points of securement ( and a winch line is not a point of securement ). Easiest do all is ratchet straps ( or chains and binders) and axel straps. Can work with and without wheels and the like. Basket straps work well except when you have no wheels or very wide tires. I have no luck with basket strap setups that only have 1 point of attachment..... need to have the strap attach at one point then to the wheel basket and then ratchet. You can can never be too secure.... have experienced what can happen when the bad happens ( rear end of car carrier ripped out of truck and car on bed did not move or got damaged).

Adamstown has a bunch of shops and not too far away. I can only really fit in Adams Antiques lot with the trailer and I make sure I stop when I am in the neighborhood. The others are also good just a smaller lot.

Saying there is no old stuff in one field over another is wrong.... unless you have been set up forever you get the space you get. I know the people around us in the Orange field have lots of old car stuff. The directory will give you a great guide but honestly just walk around and enjoy. It is a great time for sure. oh and grab an apple cider. It is a perfect treat during the day.

And he is a great guy and a great place.

And my opinion of both.... Carlisle costs more money to camp/park/ enter. Vendor spaces cost more for less space. Also Carlisle has limited bathroom facilities so when you see one use it as it will be awhile till you see another. Hershey is way better in my opinion. If you can do both why not, you won’t be the only one.

Well I will pipe in here.... Bought a set of the new USA Endurance tires for my main trailer. With less that 3K (more like 2K) one formed a bubble poking out of the sidewall while on the road (heading to FL). In less than 2K after another bubble formed in another tire. The shops confirmed defect in the tire but ofcourse Goodyear tried to blame me.... The best was with the tire off rim the bubble was not as big so that proved it was from the outside, Really???? Yea they then realized that the "girl" (my wife) they were talking to had a clue. Goodyear did pay/ replaced the tires but I am out of pocket for mounting and balancing (I own my own machines so normally don't cost me anything). They do ride nice I will say that. I have been running Rainier after they came with a new trailer I bought and have not had any issues with them and the are cheap. At this point I will be going back to them the next time.
