Wanted, 12ft trailer

[trixter192]

As title says, I need a trailer. I don't have much space in the driveway, so it will have to be short and the poutine will have to overhang. Not looking for new, those are easy to find.


I thoroughly regret not buying Kelly's trailer. I was going to ask about it, then found it it sold a few days prior.


2015 should be a good year :beer:

EDIT: GOT ONE

Single or tandem axle?

Tandem car hauler. Brakes on both axles?

Brakes on both axles?[/QUOTE]

I think youd be good with just one axle with brakes. I haul 2 suzukis on my 16ft with 22ft mod on it with only one axle with brakes that sometimes works. it depends if my trailer wiring decides to work that day or not

I've only got brakes on one axle on the TT, and about 4K in weight, locks up super easy. With as light as you'll be, brakes on one axle should be fine.

I've only got brakes on one axle on mine, my experience is that brakes on both axles is a custom order from a trailer company when buying new (on the light weight trailers anyway).

Learning new stuff in here. Werent we looking at setting up a section of the forum for stuff involving towing, trailers, etc?

how much are you looking to spend?

 

[trixter192]

Used and good working order should be under $1800. Kelly's was $1000, but he HAD to get rid of it.

Recommend any place to buy new?

Kempro (sp) trailer I think are the best localplace for cost/service. Best prices in Ontario are between toronto and London. My dad bought his last trailer at Action trailers for $3000 less then the cheapest place around here.

 

[Kunker]

Haven't found the prices further south to be worth it (fuel wise) so far vs Kempro personally.

 

[Andries]

Bought mine at kempro

 

[Logan]

I think it all depends on the type of trailer. kempro vs action on a tiltbed was $300 difference. On an enclosed trailer $3000 difference.

What size? Even looking for oversized 18-20' enclosed jobs for the CJ, a $3K difference would put Action at $4K total.

There's also a place in Gatineau selling Gator trailers pretty cheap on Kijiji.

One I priced was $11000 at kempro, $8000 when I called action. But I do think it depends on the exact trailer and year. I know right now with the dollar its pushing prices up.

I might have mine for sale. Im going to look at a 30' gooseneck and if its decent ill let you know.
