OK so I have decided to start trailering my car to events in the next few months. I'm thinking just a cheap open trailer. Any ideas on where to find a cheap car hauler?

And: "I have a 12' single axel and have never had a problem with it in 15+yrs" I think it depends on your tow vehicle. I also think people sometimes get more than they need. My own idea is that a 3,000 lbs capacity trailer to tow a 914 is plenty. Double axle trailers and such are nice but they often weigh a lot more than single axle, and the weight of the trailer puts as much strain on the tow vehicle as the live load. So it's a trade off. We'd all like to have a huge Suburban or V-10 pickup truck to tow. If you don't, you need to trade off the peace of mind of a big trailer against the peace of mind of a light package. I would still make sure the trailer has brakes of one kind or another, though. Michel Richard |
