Re: OT: U-hall -- Explorer -- Venting
I just wouldn't take the chance myself.
I got gassed once by CO and it only took 15 miles on the highway with a
trunk cracked open to have me not able to hold my eyes open. Couldn't
figure out what was going on until I stoped and bailed out into fresh
air. I leaned against the trunk and realized it was open.

Anyone at the Milton, FL U-Haul (right by Pensacola) will rent to
ANYONE in ANY vehicle. I picked a big trailer up from them in my TJ
with the top down last year and the guy never even came out to look at
my car... too bad my dumb self put too much in it and trashed my axle
