I think that the PVC pipe by Tim is a good idea. *Cheap! *PVC comes in
all the diameters and lengths you can imagine. I would think that 3"

the other end with a "clean out" (http://www.bow-group.com/pages/

probably don't even need to glue the parts together.

Then buy some metal U shaped hangers (typically in the electrical
conduit areahttp://www.drillspot.com/products/45140/Steel_City_6H3_B_Conduit_Hang...)
to hang your new PVC container somewhere in the trailer. *Finally, put
a towel inside so the probe doesn't rattle around and get damaged.

This requires a trip to the hardware store!!! * Yoo-hoo. *Remember my
motto - "Every new project deserves a new tool". *;-)

Now, Darryl, why is it that you need the spare probe? *;-)


We need spare probes because some willing and helpful Crews do crack
them standing up after fitting or taking off the Tail Dolly!!
