Showed that to my wife last night. I've been trying chase down a 300CD lately, I think that trailer would be slick behind it. She thought it would be pretty cool, life on the open road...

Ultimately it depends on the weight, but that looks like a pretty light trailer. Shouldn't be a problem. It'd look really pretty behind a Mercedes. I think a small trailer is the best of both worlds, really. You aren't tempted to bring along too much stuff, but you can sleep off the ground where your stuff won't get wet if there's a rainstorm. I used to borrow my parents' Jayco pop-up camper and tow it behind my Volvo 240 wagon. --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.

Probably no worries to zero F, below that a block heater would be nice if it's cold-soaked overnight. On the 87, without afterglow, I'd recommend the afterglow conversion. Basically that means installing a glow plug relay from any 3.5L diesel (90-95), and replacing the dash gauge temp sender in the head with the dual-output type (the extra output is for the relay). I did this on my car and have been very happy with the results. There's another cheaper method, what I call poor man's afterglow, using an existing thermoswitch on the 86/87 cars to keep the plugs on for a short time after starting. :-) -Dave M. > ------------------------------ > Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2005 09:39:13 -0700 (PDT) > From: Lee Levitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] Choices... > > > But I'm not putting my wife in a vehicle that I don't know yet. > Last thing I need is her calling me from work, or from a customer > location, saying that her car won't start due to the cold... > > I have to experience a New England winter with a diesel car before > I'm willing to convert her too... > > Lee
