1983 to 2009, Trailer for Sale or Rent

Back in 1983 or 1984 we bought a 'Trunk Mate' to assist us in carrying our stuff for our annual trips from Regina, Sask. to Hamilton, Ont., and for camping. The Trunk Mate served us well till around 1994 when we bought the Coachmen CO 230 "tent trailer". Once Aaron and Meghan moved into 1036, the Trunk Mate slowly found its home with them and they took it over as a yard waste transporter.

It's been through a number of repairs and paint jobs, but eventually after 26 years of service, it seems ready to retirement.

We thought about restoring it for renewed use with camping, but as partially shown in the photos, and for a number of other carefully thought through considerations, we think it's time for a new utility trailer.

So we found a replacement! This fine unit will help Aaron & Meghan with camping and hauling stuff, just like the Trunk Mate helped us.

That first picture is classic! Is Jason sitting on a potty on the side of the road?? I love it!! Also, Aunt Jean's sunglasses are HOT :) Does she still have them? I just paid 99 cents for a pair like that at Value Village - but hers are much better!
Love you guys, love the memories.

Well, the thing is, those trips from Regina to Hamilton, took 33 hours, and there were long stretches of highway with no rest areas. We'd just have to stop and take care of business.

I think the sunglasses that aunt Jean has now are even HOTTER. Perhaps I'll post a photo.
