With the pics already in your gallery, then you can get them in your post by clicking below on the blue line "Click here to add Photos to post".
That will take you to your gallery and just need to click on the menu tab at the top that says "My Gallery" to get out of the Upload File mode.

Then once in your gallery, click on the pic you want to post and it will enlarge from the thumbnail size.
Once enlarged, SCROLL down a ways to see the button that says "Insert Image to Post". That will stick it just where you want it. Easier done than written out, but you will get it.

ha, I may have the pic thing.
treechopper, there is a lever like a chain binder on the stationary side of the trailer, that is how they "trip"

That is a great way to get hurt, I don't believe they are legal here.

Mine have notched piece of steel that looks like a upside down J that is wedged between two links of chain at the end of the cable that wraps around the bunk and feeds through a ring to keep it tight , and to trip it you take a hammer and drive the piece out and it loosens the cable and let's the bunk fall . If that explanation makes any sense .
