Speaking of tying to trailers... has anyone actually seen the "arm" being
advertised in EN and Trail Blazer?   It attaches to the side of the trailer
(permanently, I believe) and when released, pivets maybe five or six feet
off and sits at the height of the trailer roof.  Hard to describe but
curious if anyone has seen one in action.
