White Noise
Yes, though I think it scared the ex more than it did me. Definitely a learning experience.

- What MPG do you get? [emoji38]
What is the largest you can tow before you have to put it on a lorry?
Can’t say I’m jealous, but I’m genuinely curious what it’s like to tow such a long trailer.
