   I remember that also. I seem to recall an old style, orange
u-haul trailer, the wheels had to be taken off in order to make
it fit. However, the pics of Mike towing Christine home show a
newer, larger, silver trailer, and there appears to be tons of
room to spare (http://home.tepidcola.com/gallery/dmlbbq5?page=15)

   Mike towing Christine back to WI is the only time I remember
Christine on a U-haul trailer, so I have no idea when I would
have recalled Christine on the smaller trailer with the wheels
needing to be swapped out, but I'm sure it happened... ? Maybe
it was from 2004 or 2005 when Tom towed it out behind his Ram?
