We been unable to update the blog because of access to Internet. This was last Wednesday of last week
The trailer electrical wire was too heavy for the connection plug. Had to make up our own connection, using speaker wire. The existing trailer wire was so mismatched that we had to take everything apart to sort it out. Got everything working except the running lights. Found out later, they haven't been working for years.

The hitch was a problem, the trailer is set for a 2 and 5/16 inch ball (or 58mm). The only ball size in Australia is a 2 inch (50 mm). And the hitch won't stay on with a 2”. Option was to change the hitch on the trailer but no time to do this. Or shim out the guides on the locking mechanism and gray tape they to keep the shims from falling out.

We didn't get away from customs dock until 4 pm, headed for Bruce's house. First thing I noticed, there are not any 20 foot trailers that are as wide as the road. So here we go, still figuring out driving from the right seat on the left side of the road, stick shift on the left, turn signals and wiper controls reversed, pulling this over weight trailer through Sidney with 5 o'clock traffic. I don't know if Sydnians are polite or just knew enough to give way. We made it back to Bruce's with only an occasional horn and wind shield wipers going off instead of turn signals.
