      ​@@williamlewis7846I have a Stanley 100 ft steel tape for long measurements, but I found a 25 ft/7.5 meter pocket tape at $1.25Tree Store and that lets me do most measurements. 4% error on a 50 ft measurement is a bunch.

    Casey, i love your channel. Even with all these problems, you are still making great content. The video about trailer specs and bridge laws was very interesting. I live in Italy and our heavy haul trucks need roughly half the lenght for the same weight. They mostly are fitted with steerable axles, as our streets are much narrower and curvyer than in the US.
    And the one with Howard Hughes' flying monster was better than everything i found when i was searching YT especially for it.
    I keep my fingers crossed for more luck with the stubborn rollback.
    Enjoy some days off with your family!

    I totally get you I’m trying to find something that I need/want! Wanted to lift the front of my truck 2 inches so I can put on a little bit bigger tires. However, three of the nuts for the U bolts were damaged. I have been to 15 different places looking. I finally ordered the nut from a company locally who is nationally known. They ordered me the wrong size, so I went to a nearby city, and again I got the wrong size. But I know sooner or later, the good Lord will provide, he will do the same for you, Casey.

    Sorry to hear the dejection in your voice, Casey. It probably won't make you feel any better, but Matt had the day from hell and had to leave his wrecker stuck in the desert, and Rory blew up the engine in TrailMater. At least it provided material for a video, so there is a (very small) plus side. You'll find the right trailer eventually!

    One helpful way to determine a trailer length not in your presence is to get a photo of the vin number. Most, not all, vin's will give you the length in the 5th and 6th digit. Some manufactures use actual length and some use a code. Figuring out the code can be tough as some double the length and would use 06 (106') for a 53' trailer while others the code is not as obvious. 7th digit is number of axles.

    You are as frustrated as i am waiting on a delivery. Ordered a solar system On August 1st and i am still waiting for delivery. Been told 4 times it would ship in a day or two. Finally the 5th time i got a tracking number 2 days later. Its now somewhere between California and its next stop in Illinois. Its till needs to get to indiana though. They claim it will arrive the 6th. I imagine my frustration with this is the same as you waiting on tbe rollback to get finished and to work properly. Good luck finding a trailer you want. They are out there....the question is where is it. At least you have your family to pass the time with while you wait. Some of us don't have anyone. You are very lucky!

    Man Casey, I really wish your luck would turn. For all the good you're doing for people, you've certainly earned a less stressful time! I'm glad you'll be able to spend some time with Riley before school starts, though!
    Also, those little seatbelt tensioners are so underrated! I'm shorter than the average driver, so seatbelt placement is always too high for me in trucks, even with the seat aired up. Only a couple of our trucks had those tensioners, and the difference in my daily comfort was incredible. No belt cutting into the side of my neck all day.

    Casey, you always do so much good for so many people. You are honest, humble and kind. So why are bad things happening? Satan makes you vulnerable so he can convince you that it doesn't pay to do good things or believe in God. Then he has you right where he wants you! Satan does not need to destroy the unbeliever and the bad, he already has them. That is why it seems most days that those types of people get a free ride through life with no consequences. But, they will pay the ultimate price and it is a place of constant fire, total darkness and gnashing of teeth. Don't let him take you there!! Hang onto your faith and continue to be the man you are. Your reward will be great!

    I feel your pain, we are driving a rental car courtesy of our dealer since our 2019 Escape is in for warrantee work for the 3rd time/ The only good warrantee is one you don't have to use since once the warrantee comes into play no one is happy. The only consolations is to think of buying a car for transportation for a given time and the exact car may change from time to time. This is the first vehicle we purchased with an 'extended warrantee', don't know what prompted us to do so but it has paid off - there, that's my rant.

    You need to buy a shorter tape then you will be good to go.

    Casey these troubles with trailers and the roll back all seemed to start when you put those spikes lug nuts on the truck. You raised the ire of all the sheltered viewers whose expertise is beyond question when it comes to random people injuring themselves on said spikes You get everything you deserve in my mind. Lol. Seriously sorry for the run of bad luck with the trailer buying and roll back etc. really enjoyed the last video thank you for including the highs and the lows.

    To answer your question about your tape measure being 165 feet. 50 meters is about 164 feet. They can make a SAE or metric tape measure out of the same components just by changing what is actually printed on the tape.

    The old saying should have been used on that trailer! Measure it twice BUT with a 100 foot tape!
