"Must Have" Tools for Christmas

Yep, it went over on its left side. I was only about a mile outside of
Byers, CO and the safety of a parking lot big enough to turn the beast
into the wind (it'll take over 120mph into he wind), but I had to turn
broadside to the wind to get there.
Four of us lifted the trailer back onto its wheels (it weighs less than
600lbs. i'm guessing).
You know, if it was me having to haul such a light trailer, with such a high
wind profile, I would consider putting a layer of 4" concrete block on the
floor, with a layer of plywood on top to make a new floor. That would do
wonders to lower the C of G, and make it much more pleasant to pull in all
wind conditions, and corner better. I'll bet a little load on the springs
would make it bounce and shake the load a lot less, also.
Glad everything turned out fairly well, anyway.
