The old wigwam for a gooses bridal. Long time since I've heard this from someone else. Most people, family included, think I'm mad when I say that. Good to know I'm not alone.

It's a widget holder. These are real widgets made in a konfabulator and not the ones available for Apples or PCs. Real widgets are green with yellow handles, triangular on the bottom. You will see how this will fit into the bracket with the thingamee handle at the top.

Obviously it's a torque differentiator for discombobulating an ooozywotzit.I'm surprised none of the wise blokes here didn't pick that up earlier...........or maybe they haven't seen the pics yet :)

See them all the time.
It's a device to ensure your ball weight always exceeds your tow vehicles limit.
Or it could just be a very fancy (expensive) tilting outboard mount.

It is called a 'Slip n Easy' Outboard Motor Carrier. They are made by the same business which makes the Flip n Easy fold up boat trailer.
I have one (Slip n Easy) on the draw bar of my van and carry a 30 HP Mercury outboard on it.

Since I joined this
forum I have really enjoyed the Friday Funnies. The intelligence of the individuals that gave their responses to the Doug T (NT) was to be really questioned. I would like to know why would you put an outboard on a caravan. Also a wig wam would go on a C/T. Or maybe I 'm the idiot.

Yes some answers were a bit way off but I don't mind if the poster's had a little leg pulling, the thing is I really did not know what it was , Member No 1 eventually came up with with the goodies after his bit of fun of which is good , better than reading a lot of the stuff in the news ,

That's the Waeco version. They are complete rubbish and made overseas. Do yourself a favour and get the locally made one. It will cost more but you only get what you pay for and in the long
run etc.
