bang bus LOL... you're funny.

One thing you may be able to do, I haven't really looked into it but if you can put a little more space between the axles, that should help with the load leveling of the trailer.

You could, get a 24 footer if you wanted to pay the extra tolls with 3 axles, be really overkill, but that would probably help a TON with decreasing the tongue weight, especially if you could get 6 inches between the tires themselves. But, that would probably make it rather expensive.


One I saw on racing junk had a roof that had a 16 inch bow to it, so it was taller in the center then the edges, this was supposed to help with snow/ice weight and not be as much of an issue.

Besides, I don't think I would leave it sitting all winter with the snow piling up on top of it.

Another option if you are gonna store a car in it, like I was thinking about doing with mine is you can get a heater put in the floor that's electric, if you insulate the trailer and not the roof, the heater would melt the snow off the roof I bet unless you get like 2 feet on there.


What I was looking at buying:

24 foot V nose
overhead cabinets the entire lenth on one wall.
triangular cabinet in the nose with a door for the generator
insulated walls
alum interior and exterior walls
winch, so I don't have to drive the car in or out, just winch/roll it in and out, no need for the suicide door
awning on passengers side, no more pop up tent to deal with
put a decent toolbox permanently on top of the generator cabinet
spare tire mounts inside
120 volt lighting
air conditioner
rig up a stand/holder for 2 nitrous mother bottles
put a small compressor in, just to run the nitrous refill station, so this way I can fill bottles at the track, so I don't need more then 4 myself, and I might be able to sell a little bit here and there to cover the cost of the pump quicker

I was also going to get the crank down legs on all 4 corners, so that I can tilt the trailer if needed to get a really low car in and out.



Like I said I've looked into it alot, to do an alum trailer like I want is probably about 25 grand, I should be able to do a steel one for 15, I'll use that other 10 grand towards the bigger pickup and be better off in the long run I think.

This will be the last trailer I buy, so that being said I want to do it once and do it right. with air conditioning, I could for all intensive purposes, bring a couple coolers, a little grill, and an air mattress and use the trailer like a camper for overnite trips to the track too, and just park the car out under the awning at night, and save a good 100 to 150 a night in hotel rooms too. Kinda ghetto, but I don't have room for a 30 footer with living qtr's, and I don't have 50 grand for a trailer either. If I did 5 trips a year that I stay overnite in the trailer rather then a hotel, that's a good 500 to 750 a season saved, do that for 5 seasons and you saved a bundle. Plus when the wife and I finally have a kid the air conditioning will probably be a god send.

 

haha, he is towing, im the one in the back doing all the work with all the pretty ladies. lol

 

My cousin bought the 28' enclosed from East Side last year for cheap money. granted it was bare, but over time we built a bench, hung lights inside, painted the walls, checkered the floor, and hung cabinets that he had in his shed. He even got it stickered.

Might be worth just buying a bare one then taking your time making it the way you want it.

 

well the deciding factor apparently is the town i live in, one of the by-law's is you can't have a trailer anywhere in a front yard, has to be in a backyard or enclosed in a building. Well the way my yard is i have no back yard, i could just buy one and see what happens but my neighbors don't really like me anyways, so i have no doubt they will complain.

 

Nice.

Can't fit next to the house at all? Because the in a building thing is a little retarded, I don't know too many people that have enough space to put their enclosed race car hauler in the garage too LOL


That trailer you bought Krazy was a good deal, I wish I had enough truck to pull that thing, and a place to put a 28 footer. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with a MAX of a 26 foot V nose one, probably just gonna go with a 24 V nose, and try to get a small atv that I can just load in and out of the truck bed. I used to put my 400EX honda in my truck alone, stand it up on the bumper, back the truck up to it, tilt the fornt end in and pick the thign up and heave it in... kind of a pita, I'm hoping I can find a 250 or something like that, just enough to pull the car to the line when I want to, ride around so I don't have to walk 100 miles at an event like Pinks like I did this past summer, and be able to tow the car back to the trailer when I finally blow it up LOL.

 

Thats all it takes to wipe out a family of 6. Some smuck pulling a trailer way to heavy for his truck rating and not being able to stop in a hurry . Smart answer jerkoff

 

Pete I think you cut some off that reply that whip put up.... it was meant to be a joke.

 

yea, you missed the joke of it.

and for what its worth, i towed my 20 footer with my 1500 avi with 5.3, i put good pads in the truck, a weight distribution hitch and a nice brake controler. it wasnt bad at all. if he got an alum one it would be atleast 1,000 pounds lighter then mine was.
i think an alum 24 would be a cake walk for that truck

 

bsp...pm sent. Don't go calling people jerkoff unless you want to say it to my face.

 

Well i got the trailer i wanted exactly all priced out, an ATC, roughly 18k. All the options i would want, just a matter of getting my town to be okay? Well i guess my first mistake was going to ask them. The building permit head said that the trailer he would consider commercial no matter how it was registered and i'd have to conform accordingly. Talked to the police and they said if it isn't enclosed if they get one complaint they can make me get rid of it. SO NOW IM PISSED!! I could get a lawyer and argue the commercial trailer thing, but then i'd still have to deal with the cops. I don't know what to do

 

whip i'll need an address so you can try to bust my eye sockets. don't worry about the gas money since I am up in the northeast often.

 

You need to move! That is such BS!!! Bad enough they try to tell homeowners what to do in their "sub divisions", now they want to tell you what to do in town too. What if you park it on the street?

 

i'm really considering finding another house, this is ridiculous, i can't go to much farther with my car until i have a trailer. I can't build any bigger of a garage with the lot i have as it is. My street is tiny and off the beaten path so i don't see why it's such an issue anyways, in the same breath for the same reason i can't leave it on the street, it would block everything.

 

Come to Peabody bud!

 

Why don't you guys find a gas station or a yard to keep them at. i'm sure you can find cheap rent and buy the trailer you need/want

 

He doesn't want to live in our slums

 

whip was making a joke, you took it wrong and spoke a little strong toward him for no reason. this is a lose lose issue for both parties.

but if you come up this way to get your eye socket busted, hit me up we can have a beer after

timmy, 18 k isnt to bad, but i spoke to those guys as well and for the set up i was looking at they came in at like 22k and the trailer shop was like 6 k cheeper for the same stuff. might be worth a trip down to see them.

also, dan from the outdoor shop, he deals with triton and i think renigade, pretty sure he could get you anything you wanted.

as for the trailer. buy one of those big *** pepboys pop tent garages. put the trailer in there.
that is not a fixed structure that meens there is no code on proporty lines etc and it will cover your trailer. they want to be ***'s and play games. theres your hit back at them, game over
