The post whore thread.

Have I posted this picture yet? This is Irving continuing a tradition that has continued on for five generations of Dodge Caravan.

I took this picture a while ago, just because I thought it was sad that none of these were confident ways to describe yourself and it made me sad.

No no, I'm talking about a small utility trailer. Either a 4'x8', some sort of small adventure trailer. I'm not confident in any of my vehicles being able to handle a real trailer.

I figure something I can throw camping gear into, and mount a rack on the top to hold my kayaks. I need something light enough for my Amigo to be able to pull it up a hill, or my van to be able to pull it to California or that lake in Nebraska that I can never spell.

Check out rentals. I was looking at the forest river no boundaries ones for rent on CL. $149 a night, which isn’t great but they also act as a gear hauler. If I had a spare 15k, I’d consider one.

Meh, for three nights, I could have my own trailer.

Ooops, my misunderstanding. Those little open trailers can be very useful for all kinds of stuff...good investment.

True, but then you wouldn’t have the joy of spending 180x the average venezuelan’s yearly income on something that sits the majority of the time. Put a Yeti in it and you’d be set for beer runs that necessitate sleeping it off in a Walmart parking lot.

[Irving]

In all honesty, it's going to be something where I don't need it now, but once I have one, I'll be able to find all kinds of use for.

I bought a single axel 6x10 enclosed in '07 for a specific purpose which never developed (long story) for about $2,500.....but when I've needed it, I'm damn sure glad I had it.

180x the average venezuelan’s yearly income

Is that close to a couple of hot dogs and a big gulp from 7-11 ?

Wulf202 keeps encouraging me to get something like a 5'x10' for a little more money. That's coming from his experience of actually using trailers for real work. I'm still on the fence about going that big. I figure if I ever get a real vehicle that can tow the weight that a larger trailer can handle, hopefully I'd be able to sell my smaller one for a similar price and not lose a bunch of money on it.
