A little OT: Personal moving with an enclosed car trailer? Good idea?

[chrisp]

I am thinking of using my enclosed trailer (in lieu of a moving truck or even a UHual) to move my home.

Does anyone has first hand experience with this and maybe good reasons why I wouldn't do it?

It saves money and gives me flexibilty. I do not own a ton of furniture and stuff (estimated to be about 7000 pounds) and I figure in two loads I can do it all. Any overflow can be moved with just the pickup alone. I am moving 200 miles.

I have done it several times, and helped others a few. Works like a charm. We were using a 28 foot TPD trailer, infact in the past few months it has moved more furniture than race cars.

Take the money you save and buy someting nice for your car....

Just watch your weight distribution while loading the trailer and keep proper tongue weight and it shouldn't be a problem. A load is a load, whether it's cars or furniture...

I have a 22' wellscargo and It works great! just ask all my old and lots of new friends. It's amazing how the friends just pile up when you have a trailer of any kind!!!
