Chip,
I have a steel trailer and had it with me at McDonough. It came with dual axels with electric brakes on the rear axel only, used tires. I bought this trailer for $1,400 new and had to add the 4 D rings, and spare tire rack. Since then I added a winch and welded on extensions to the ramps so there isn't a 2 inch lift to drive up on. I added these last parts after not being able to get my Cobra on the trailer because of the wet conditions at McDonough. My Cobra wouldn't jump the 2 inch gap but had no problem pushing my trailer and tow vehicle down the parking lot. Thanks for the help in getting my car on the trailer. I had stored this trailer in my back yard for a few months until a neighbor turned me in, as you can't park a car hauler in your yard in Cape Coral. It then went into my 2 car garage on an angle because a 16 foot car haulers actual over all length is 21 feet. After Silver Springs I made the wife happy and it's in storage for $28.00 a month storage fee. I couldn't rent a UHaul because the weight of my cobra plus trailer would weigh more than my tow car and with surge brakes they wouldn't rent to me. The only way your trailer plan would not be a good idea, if you Atlanta guys would have all needed that same trailer the same weekend because you were all coming to Silver Springs.
Yeh right.
Dan
