Teach your wife's and daugters to trailer.

[wilburz]

I have my old lady trained up right. When I am ready to go riding or hunting for that matter I just tell her when I am leaving. The day before she has all my stuff packed up, coolers,clothes what not, in dry boxes stacked up nicely in the garage. When I give the signal the day of leaving she loads the atv, and all the other stuff in the truck. All I have to do is slip on the boots and give her a kiss good bye.

BTW - The reverse of this process is completed once I come home.

WARNING - This process will not happen over night, it has taken me almost 8 years to train her and she still makes mistakes on occasion!     

Sounds like she can't wait to get you out of the house Huh?  :M :R



So she can call her boyfriend up to come over 

You probably have the first part right. The second part may be partly right but not her boyfriend. If you know what I mean.

Teach women to back up a trailer? Are you insane? I don't think they should even be behind the wheel!

Here is a question I have that I was wondering if anyone can give advice on that is not my boyfriend! Any tips as far as loading the back of the truck using ramps vs pulling the trailer. They truely scare the heck out of me! I have visions of me going through the back windshield or falling off the ramp!

Also, it is a good idea to load in the grass if you don't have straps on your ramps.  You wouldn't want a tire to grab too well and spit the ramp out from under you on slippery concrete.  I also try to look for uneven ground so I can get the truck lower than the ramps.  That reduces the incline.

I second that.

Oh where to start.

Susie- love the comment on wanting to get Wilburz out of town for new company.

Wilburzbro & Scrub79- y'all are a$$holes.

As for loading w/ ramps.  I change the incline by driving down the driveway.  Grass or dirt is always a good place to do this as suggested.  I have a tool box in the back of my truck which prevents me from worrying about going through the back window.  I do what muddfreak suggested and stand beside the quad loading and unloading and give it even throttle till it's on the truck.  If you have 4wd make sure you are using it.  The front two wheels pulling help to keep from kicking the ramps out.
