BTW, this is 1 mile on small roads, Sunday morning, I dont have any
gyros, 20 mph the whole way, no pot-wholes.

The Dyke Delta is designed to be towed on it's own wheels. One of the
builders, lives in Conneticut, had problems getting it registered as a
trailer. Seems they don't allow trailers to have their own propulsion
system. YMMV.


Well it doesn't have it's own propulsion system for propelling it
down the highway. I'm sure the reason for th erestriction is so
people can't buy trailer plates for vehicles that are supposed to
have different (and probably more expensive) plates.

To expand a little on Jim Carriere's earlier point, many (probably most)
towing compainies have a more favorable rate for a non-emergency tow than
for on-demand. Life is best for them when they can reduce their amount of
dead-heading. So, you might watch for a carefull driver with a roll-back in
your area and talk to him.

BTW, if your a/c is wider than the truck, I would still seriously consider
an escort--especially after dark, and I would avoid friday and saturday
nights.
