Let talk trailers!

[Lenie]

I bought a used trailer today after looking for about 6 months. Has some things on it i didn't want and things I wanted and didn't get but when your buying used and you don't live on the east coast sometimes you've got to settle. Perfect timing as my buddy in San Diego had to drive to Stockton for work so he picked it up for me near LA and I'm going to meet him there and get it. Saves me a few road hours, just in time for me to take my car to the upholstery shop next week. Gettin' it done just in time for winter

Here's the link

Nice Lenie!!


One "hint" --- don't put the spare in the floor box..... trust me on this one! Get a wall mount and put it near the rear door - up high out of the way... when you need it it's right there. Use the floor box for spare chains and stuff like that. If you need the spare and it's in the floor UNDER THE CAR - guess what you get to do first? That's right -- move the car... wrestle the tire out -- and then put the car back... and re-strap it. F that! I've been there and done that!

Greg, you also mentioned something about changing flat tires by backing/pulling the trailer up on a wedge block, easier than a jack, do you still have that link where I can go buy one? Thanks

Here it is on Amazon --- but of course Poulsbo RV would have them or other similar trailer dealer.

This ramp is pretty slick. I was going to buy one but I opted made my own using a 6X6 I had lying around. Just did an angle cut and works like a champ.

I just use two parking chocks. Pull up on them.
I still laugh when I see guys taking the time to pull out their bottle jacks.

It really depends on where the belly door is, mine is in the left front corner of the floor and no where near being under the car.
