Vehicle Trailer

[GOnSHO]

Hey Guys,

any of you have a vehicle trailer i could borrow on the 25th or 26th of Feb, moving houses and gotta move my project...

im willing to spend a couple bucks if need be or throw a case of beer/bottle of booze your way :)

[GOnSHO]

nobody?? or even if someone wants to do it for mE :)

I have been trying to find a cheap one forever, having almost zero luck.

Why not just rent one from uhaul? They're only like $50 for a day if returned locally.

^ this, only issue may be that sometimes it is hard to track one down so you'll have to call a few locations (at least I did)

i was going to but was hoping for a full flat bed, not just a tire dolly

u-haul does have full bed trailers as well.

yea they have flatbeds, they are called auto transports there.

If I remember correctly from when I rented one you need a 4 pin output for the trailer lights but they sell adapters there for about $25.

The trailer also has its own braking system which I found was a plus when I hauled my car out to BC a couple years ago.

oh, i thought they only had wheel dollies..

other issue is there "pre inspection" as it is a project, its kinda in pieces.. ha

Pre inspection? They only "inspect" the tow vehicle which consists of you signing paperwork inside and them saying "good luck!"

[GOnSHO]

ooh ok :)

the way i read it was it meant the vehicle to be moved

[GOnSHO]

LoL

apparently they cant guarantee the trailer until the day before i need it??

[Zero102]

Yeah, you use their web site for the booking, it will tell you who has one available, then on the day before they call to confirm the pickup time. Once upon a time they had a reservation guaranteed or else they pay you $25 or $50 clause, I dunno if that is still around or if that applies to trailers.

[GOnSHO]

i can book the truck i need.. but because of the "one way fleet" they cant guarantee it

damnit.. lol

and it has to pass their weight criterion for towing. They won't allow you to tow a vehicle with say another car or a wagon etc (but you would be pretty stupid to try this anyways).

haha yea, i told them i was gonna use my Ram 1500 or the rental 26' truck that i rented...

but they cant guarantee me the trailer anyway...
