[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1363013, member: 13921"] There are photos posted of the new pups. The pin is set farther forward on the new ones and the hoses and catch on the dolly, especially when making a tight, right turn. Makes it even more important to double check to make sure that the release handle is down and locked during your pretrip. My advice would be to not be afraid to get out and look. Last week, I was sticking a 53 in the drop lot, between 2 other 53s. There was not a ton of room for set up, so I set up, started the back, got out, pulled up, pushed it in a bit farther, got out and did it. Centered the trailer in the hole perfectly. Had I not got out, it would have been possible to slide the back opposite corner against the neighboring trailer. For going down the road, I would always rather pull a single than doubles. Length does not matter. 1 box is always easier than 2. Get into the habit of doing everything the same way all the time and if someone interrupts you, go back and start over. You will be less likely to drop a box when you 'think' you did everything. [/QUOTE]
