Finally got a new trailer

Post by Damon23 »

For the last few years I've been using a old equipment trailer that a buddy and I went in on together. It was hard as heck to load cars as the ramps were really too short. Well, I got a early x-mas present. I was given some cash and told to get a new trailer for our trip to Daytona. Having a real car trailer is great. Proper ramps, dove tail, removable fender, breaks on both axles and the break away kit. I just need a tongue box and thinking of a wench. I wanted a metal deck one but they were around $3300 where I got this one with the brake controller for $2500. It is a 2013 lone wolf 18x7. It holds the 68 just fine and the excursion dips down in the rear as much as using the old trailer with the Camaro on it. If I don't replace the excursion for a 4x4 then I've got to put bags on the rear.

I could use a wench too; someone to chop wood, and do the dishes. :D

Now, a winch would be great for pulling a vehicle onto a trailer.

My mother in law was over and talking in the other room when I was typing. I guess what I was thinking came out thru my fingers.

seems like a lot of work to haul that ch**y to the junkyard, y'know they got guys that will pick those things up for free?


just kidding, kinda jealous, except in my family the bump is the one pulling the trailer.

After a few near death experiences with a home built trailer, I figured a new nice trailer wasn't too expensive.
I bought a 18' x82" back in '98 and never regretted it.
It's amazing all the uses there are for a good trailer.
