What are you using for trailering?

Spooler · 02-26-2018, 01:16 PM

This is a better price, but I would have to order and add an escape door and Etrax.

Best bet is to look for a used trailer. Aluminum trailers that haven't been heavily abused hold up very well and should be cheaper that new by a decent amount.

Might checkout racingjunk.com. They often have listings for decent used trailers.

Great minds think alike. That is where I have been looking. I would prefer a used one that someone else took the hit on and hardly used.

Getting closer. Sundowner is a good trailer.

I have the car carrying version of one of these because "old-man" and can load on my own.

Wasn't cheap though ~ $10K AUD but it tows like a dream and has a payload of 1320 kgs

Has been self built for around $7K AUD for steel, airbags and control equipment and registration.

Is open deck but does have the ali front to it which protects the car from road debris

European based but you could also look at these .... www.turatello,co.uk but I suspect you'd be better off seeking USDM trailer

Spooler · 02-27-2018, 07:09 AM

A little bigger than what I would like but it is a good deal.

That is a close match, I need one with an escape door.

Finding the right trailer for the right price is being difficult. This is going to take a while.

jchammond · 02-28-2018, 07:22 PM

This one looks Ok.

That thing looks like a giant lemon. LOL

BGTV8 · 03-01-2018, 05:46 PM

I have seen some plans for an air-bagged enclosed trailer that an engineer mate built for ~A$6K in materials.

I guess by the time you paid a fabricator/welder and a sparkie to wire it, you might get to A$10K ......... worth a look ??

If you are interested, I can connect you to him ...........

Spooler · 03-09-2018, 01:49 PM

I found one at a reasonable price. Gotta take some measurements of the wifes car to ensure it will fit.

Spooler · 03-09-2018, 07:54 PM

Yeap, it will fit. I am going to need to think on this a bit. It is a 28' with 5200lb spread axles. Escape door, extended ramp, but no E-tracks. Can I get by without E-tracks without too much trouble?

You can install them yourself.
