WTB-20+ foot, double axle trailer.

Open or enclosed, preferably in So California. Not gold plated, patina IS OK with good tires. Surge or electric brakes a bonus.

YES, JB is moving to San Diego County.

Because after using it I would like to have hauler for my 911 and hauling a lot of junk to the dump. 30 years of crap needs removal and if I break the 911 at SD PCA ax or DE events (God help them, I'm back) I can get it home w/o the AAA haul of shame....

I sold my old one during the divorce and miss it.....

I saw somewhere that somebody referred to the PCA as the Polishing Club of America. Hilarious!

Keep an eye on the gross weight capability of the trailer. A lot of 5, 6, and 7k trailers out there. Small frame rails, only one axle has brakes, etc. Trailer weighs 3 to 4k, whats left is what you can haul.

I've got a 10k trailer, 16", 6 lug, 2x 6k axles. Trailer weighs 3,300. Car weighs 3,100, Racks full of supplies and tools brings gross weight to 9-ish k. Have never regretted going for the extra $$. I cross country 3 to 4 times a year, never had any issues, E-rated tires, temp and pressure monitors on all 4.

Yupperz. Best to have a trailer IMHO that is rated 2X the vehicle weight in the bed.

BTDT.

I really like my ride.....and wanna keep it.

How did you get temperature and pressure monitors on all 4 wheels?

I would never get surge brakes on a 20 ft. trailer. I don't know how heavy my tractor is, but it's well over 12K lbs. Probably 16 to 18.

I actually have temp and pressure monitors on all 10 tires. Has alerted me several times to 'situations' developing and got handled before being a problem.

^ What are those wedge shaped things on the roof? Is that a fan?

Try Searchtempest.com Try the word "trailer" in farm and garden.

Up here in central Cali, you can find a buttload of those little trailers.

It's a vent cover, allows the vent to be open going down the road, also can stay open in the rain.

^ That's super nice. The plumber doing our gas station has one almost identical to yours. He uses it like a mobile shop.
