Lyondemere owns a trailer that is used to tote the barony's possessions to and from events.
Packing the Baronial Trailer
For tournaments, the trailer needs to hold:
1. the baronial pavilion and all its parts (poles, walls, ropes, stakes, hammers)
2. the rugs
3. the wagon
4. baronial banners, poles, and portable holes for displaying them
5. the thrones and their footrests and pillows
6. a few tables and tablecloths for them
7. a trashcan (which needs a new liner bag each event)
8. sometimes there are water bottles in the trailer as well.
For wars, the above list should be supplemented by:
9. the eric poles and ropes, to mark out the encampment's borders 10. the firepit 11. the stove that Calafia gave us at our Anniversary in AS XLI 12. the baronial kitchen pavilion 13. any kitchen cooking gear we happen to have
If Lyondemere is hosting a tournament, the trailer should contain in addition to the tournament list above:
9. the eric poles and ropes, to mark out the fighting field this time :-) 10. the marshal's staves 11. as many banners, tables, tablecloths, decorations, etc. as we can find 12. if there is a feast, the boxes of feast serving gear 13. possibly the boffer loaner gear, if we are hosting a boffer tournament
Towing the Baronial Trailer
When towing the baronial trailer care must be taken in attatching the trailer to the tow vehicle. Follow these simple steps to insure that the trailer is correctly connected for towing.
1. Set the trailer receiver on the tow hitch. The receiver requires a 2" ball.
2. Lock the receiver onto the ball. Insure that the release level is securely locked down.
3. Connect the trailer's electrical system to the tow vehicle. Test the turn signals, break, and running lights.
4. Attach the safety chains. The chains should be lose to allow the trailer to swing left and right as the tow vehicle turns.
5. The trailer is now ready for towing. The maximum speed for a vehicle towing a trailer in California is 55 miles per hour.
