Somebody buy this so I'm not tempted. The price seems almost too good to be true. The scissor doors on the tow vehicle are a bit "Guido" but it can't be too hard to go back to stock. I already have a vintage airstream and don't need another trailer. Every time I see the advertisement I wonder if it's as cool in person as it looks.

My family has a little boler like that. That mini is definitely working over time:nut:

^ I was going to say, thats far from a car I'd want to tow anything with. May as well be a Fiat.

Super cool trailer though, man:thumbsup: Too bad they wont separate it, as per their website. Otherwise Id like to see how much they want JUST for the trailer.
$19k for both isn't too bad of a deal though.

The Mini may be able to pull it but I wonder how well it brakes with the trailer/car loaded up?

I'm not sure if this Boler has trailer brakes, but ours didnt!

Boler is a brand from the 70's. This trailer is not a Boler. It's a Scamp and according to their website at http://www.scamptrailers.com/ they have electric brakes as an option.

If you want crazy take a look at this

^ THAT is fucking cool. I'd be worried about how a person would have to modify the roof to hold/pull all that weight. To just "bolt" that hitch on would eventually ruin the roofs of most cars, especially if pulling that trailer up a hill.

I know the trailer is perfectly safe but I can't bring myself to tow it empty, let alone with one of my cars in it. I get the shakes just thinking about it. I'm not alone. I've talked to a bunch of people who have wrecked while towing trailers and my symptoms are quite common.
