Bolt-on jack wheel

You know you're fully
moved in when you finally return the moving trailer you borrowed to
haul your possessions north.

Before we sent the
trailer home, though, we had to fix the bolt-on
jack wheel which had
bent during previous usage. These handy devices swivel down to form a
fifth wheel for easy repositioning of an unloaded trailer. Be sure you
don't exceed the weight limit, though, or you may bend bolts and have
to replace the entire attachment mechanism!
