    The process of ordering worked great for me, just the delivery from Purolator was a bit of a problem. i ordered the tracking with mine and it was a good idea possibly, because purolator brought it 2 times to my local drop off point but failed to call me. They brought it back to their bracebridge location saying it had the wrong address, and finally called me after 2 weeks of being driven around parry sound region. I did end up getting it after a few calls to purolator (not fun). OFSC's part seemed to work well for me, just the shipping problem.. wished they would have used Canada Post for my circumstances. if i remember last year i did not get the tracking and it came by Canada Post.

    taking in consideration that the towing vehicle is NOT commercial and registered for under 4500kg, it is not that simple, if the towed trailer is under 2800kg (actual weight) regardless of 1 or 2 axles it does not get added on to the truck weight, and you do not have to register the truck to account for this weight. if you have a trailer that is over 2800 kg (actual weight) you would have to add the trailer weight to the actual weight of the truck, which in this case it would most likely put you over 4500lbs would require a sticker. http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/trucks/commercial-vehicle-faq.shtml There are no laws as far as i am aware that would force you to get a sticker for a 2 axle trailer if you can fall within the above weights. i am not saying that you may not need one...if you are pulling ANY trailer with a stickered truck you need to have a sticker on the trailer regardless, even if it is your 12' aluminum boat. seems to be some misleading and wrong information about towing on this forum. I would suggest if anyone is still feeling overwhelmed with the information, stop in at a weigh scale and ask the mto directly and get the proper information directly from the inspectors. If i remember right, EVERY year this subject gets brought up and some of the same information is circulated again and again........

      Hi Snowman, we have a cottage on whitefish lake it's 20 km south from Parry Sound on Hwy 141.

      We usually spend every weekend at cottage  and have a ride if weather permits. Also we make a couple multiday trips during a season.  Unfortunately weekdays I'm working in Toronto to pay bills for toys:D

      i would guess your about 35 km from me.  I am just off  hwy 124 close to waubamik.  a bit a ways from you.   i do the opposite and travel to the city on Saturday, Sunday and have a bit of flexibility during the weekdays for rides.
