Rastaman - NEPA is a full days drive North for you. Just follow the snowbirds in April. If you see Garryk, you went too far.
For a grey tank, I was considering just carrying one of those portable wheeled tanks but wasn't sure where to stash it while going down the road.
The current dilemma.

A previous owner had spun a bearing on the right rear wheel. This chewed up the spindle pretty bad. I have been running a tight preload and 'feeding it' new bearings as needed which has worked fine for shorter trips. That was with a few hundred pounds of tongue weight, not a bed full of Avion.
Turns out, not only can this be repaired, but it can be done roadside. I might not be out of the game yet, still trying for a Florida meet.
