[Rhodes22-list] New Rhodes 22 (almost) owner

Tue May 26 22:04:20 EDT 2009

I have a different impression of the relationship between Triad and GB having purchased a new trailer 1.5 yrs ago.  Triad told me they only sell the R-22 trailer through GB - it is an exclusive arrangement.  So I was glad to do that and I ordered it and picked it up directly from Stan.
