Re: RC: Re: Sky Hooks
Karen,
I tie to the trailer and have cut down on the rattling by using only rubber
buckets, and by wrapping the bars where I hang the buckets and hay bag with
electical tape (time to do that again, as a matter of fact). It makes it a lot
quieter. And since I use a bumpepull and sleep in the truck, I also drop the
winch to keep Akela from rocking the thing!
