So, thinking I am moving my toyhauler to Glamis. That would mean I need a new trailer for the car. The plan is to take the trailer to Glamis and leave it in storage there. For $80.00 each weekend I go, the storage folks will fill it with water, turn on the fridge before I get there, take it to me at my camp site, pick it up and dump it placing it back into it's storage spot at the end of the weekend.
I burn three tanks of fuel pulling it back and forth to Gordon's at $80.00 a pop. I am looking for a small trailer for the car. I know with a small trailer and just the car for a load I can shave 1/3 of my fuel bill each weekend. So, set up, dump, delivery will be an effective push for me.
The real up side is that I am tired of fitting 13' of car into a 12' of space in the trailer. So, no headaches there. Likely make better time down the road with just a car and a couple of ice chests vs the 28' monster. Figure I will save money on the clutch and reverse as well. Just trying to maximize fun and minimize headache this year. The monthly storage costs is about a push - so this sounds like a good plan and puts us in Glamis in lieu of Gordon's.
So, trolling around I run across this (below). He is asking 1200 I figure 900. Any input?
This is a commercially-built sandrail trailer. It's built well and pulls smoothly. It's specifically designed for a large, rear-engine or mid-engine rail with paddle tires. It has large dish areas behind the fenders for paddle tires to rest and has mount points to install wheel hold-down strap nets. The ramps fold straight up and are held in place with struts and lever-handle bolts. A rail's front wheels run up to the front in deep channels, so there is NO flatbed area.
*** This was purely designed for a rail. I've had people ask me if it could be used for a car -- NO! It would be unstable with incorrect weight distribution. The wheels are 4/5 toward the rear of the trailer to support the weight of a rear or mid engine.
It has a storage bin in the front for tools, supplies, etc. and has more than enough room in front of that to mount a toolbox, cooler, etc. on the mount rails. The lights and wiring were replaced about a 3 years ago. The tires and full-size spare are in great condition. They are actual trailer-rated tires.
This was built by a company in California in the '80s and is very heavy-duty.
Measurements:
Length of channels = 12 feet
Width of the channels = 12.5 inches
Distance between the wheel channels (from inner sides) = 42.5 inches
Width of the paddle tire dishes = 22 inches
Ramps: 34 inches long x 22 inches wide
