| Got a challenge facing me. I THINK I know what to do, but sure would appreciate other comments:
I'm going to haul a king size mattress 450mi. To do this, I have a 6' trailer. May have to haul some other stuff, too. Basically, the mattress will be standing on edge. (Note: this is a wifely edict. I WILL haul that mattress. It's one we all love, yada yada yada....) My theory of how to do this is: a. Wrap it several times in plastic (ground cover) b. Sandwich it between two sheets of 1/2" plywood. (the sandwich will be on the outside of the mattress). c. Tie it tightly as a package. d. put cushions under it Hopefully, this will be a waterproof way of standing it between other stuff. Any other great thoughts on what might be a good thing here? |

| I'd rather use an enclosed trailer. If positioned wrong, even something as thick as a mattress can catch some air and act as an airfoil that will make the trailer uncontrollable at highway speeds, or less. |
