Good to have you back! Can't wait to hear if you had a chance to tour the Blue Moon factory in your travels, and can share the latest and greatest improvements to the worlds greatest trailer! If only we could all be towing a Blue Moon!

You wouldn't believe that Blue Moon factory! An absolutely incredible place.
They just moved the factory to Pantex, Texas not too far outside of Amarillo. Seems they are able to recycle materials from some other nearby manufacturing facilities. All of the trailers from the new factory have an internal illumination system that really makes nightime loading and unloading a breeze.
Gotta go now. I'll be back with more details later.

Rollin- I know the manufacturing plant you're speaking of. I'll bet you won't even need running lights on your trailer. Just make sure you don't travel close to any airports or security checks enroute to your rides. LOL

Longrider,
You know the one! These new Blue Moons are incredible: the innovations they keep coming up with just amaze me. I bought a new one after I toured the plant. It is the one with the auxiliary drive wheels using the inherent energy in the trailer to drive the trailer wheels . . . it really has improved my gas milage. The power unit, located in the dressing room, has the added benefit of functioning as a microwave oven. Of course it is soooooo quiet . . . no more complaints about generator noise!!!

Sounds alot like an experimental trailer I heard about coming out of Richland WA many years ago. I think it was called the Manhattan model or something similar. Got glowing reviews, but I never saw one personally. Sounded like quite the bomb at the time.
