Hello,
Thank you to all who gave me advise on my trailer purchase. I received alot
of info on tandem -vs- single. Tandem would be better by far but I actually
received more praise about the single then I expected. As things turn out,
the single axel was much more in my price range. Especially for a "first"
trailer. So, as you now know, I bought a trailer a few days ago. It is a
decent single axel unit that was sitting in a backyard. From $1000.00 I
bargained and purchased it for $400.00. It was extremely dirty and was
covered with spiders.
I spent the last several days cleaning and repainting it and today I just
rewired and added new lights. All I need to do is paint the ramps and add
anchor points for my car tie-downs. Then I can start putting on stickers!
Yes, I am still a kid at heart. Maybe I will even put more lights just like
the 18 wheelers! ;>)
I have never driven a car onto a trailer. It seems easy enough. I plan to
put a couple jackstands under the rear of the trailer for added support when
I drive up. Seems as if it would be alot of weight for the trailer hitch to
hold during the loading process. Any tips from anyone?
I cant wait to post some pics of my trailer on my website.
