Good job on the sticker job Sherman, look cool.
Do I need to ask how many hours and how many cigarettes it took to put it on ?

Yep - a LOT. Sherm estimates the retail value of that job is about $3,500.
Great work, indeed!

I've recently cut the amount I spend on smokes in HALF. I buy duty free smokes from Europe.
No state or federal taxes and I get to smoke all the "cool" brands not readily available locally. Mild Seven, Dunhill, West, Rothmans, Muratti, etc. A carton of Marlboro at the grocery store is about $45. I pay $20. SMOKE UP, BABY!
I gave up drinking, meth and crack. My ability to give up things that are bad for me is kinda tapped out for now. Like I tole 'em at BFC over seven years ago... I ain't giving up cigarettes or masterbation, so don't even try. You can add sportbike riding to that too.

Actually very well. It's heavy enough to where it doesn't bounce hardly at all - and the hitch is far enough away from the wheels so that there's not a lot of pitching, either.
We've left stuff piled up on the work bench and had every bit of it still there after a 5 hr. drive.

Sorry swft. Just now saw your question. The trailer's axles are rated at 3,500 lbs each and when it is fully loaded, we are right at the limit. The tongue is 4' and with the weight distribution hitch, it's another foot off my receiver. How much of a difference that makes, if any is beyond me.
Jonathan is right about stacking stuff up on top of the bench. They are items that would easily fall off if there was the slightest of jarring bumps. We stack gear bags first then put rolled up sleeping bags and pillows on top of the gear bags. Ocassionally, a pillow or sleeping bag MIGHT fall off, but I've seen that happen while it was parked in my driveway. Things like loaded ice chests and such are kept on the floor (unsecured) during transit.
My toolbox is mounted on a Harbor Frieght "flatbed wagon" with two plastic tool boxes stacked on the end of the wagon. We do secure it, the generator and the 33 gal air compressor to each other and then to two e-tracks on the wall (specifically for that purpose). Excluding that and the bikes themselves, everything else, including the mini fridge, is not secured.
Even the 1,000+ mile round trip to Texas World, we have not had any problems with the contents getting bounced around. As a matter of fact, the ride in the trailer is probably smoother than the ride in the truck.
