Premium Member blackout Posted March 11, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted March 11, 2019 My brother's 5x8 aluminum trailer that I will use to go to the track this year. The past two years I used the family's motorhome, but that'll be sold at a loss with the divorce sadly. No need for it anymore.

mossrider Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I miss the freedom and convenience of my 6X10. Get a easy-up, small generator along with your favorite chair and it doesn't get any better trackside. Add an air matress, cooler and a buddy and you can pick a track 5 states away, woot!

Premium Member blackout Posted March 12, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted March 12, 2019 A small generator is next on my list. I'm gonna pull this with my 2009 Chevy Cobalt. It has a manual shift, so I can pick the gear I need and not have to worry about over heating the tranny. Craig Mapstone Upstate New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like an aluminum trailer so loaded you should be under 2000# easy. I like these new Predator generators from Harbor Freight. They are very nice and my 3500 watt has been dead reliable and more quite than my old Honda (and 1/3 the price). Several of my buddies have this smaller version and it rocks too; 2000 Watt Super Quiet Inverter Generator WWW.HARBORFREIGHT.COM Using built-in inverter technology this inverter generator produces a cleaner power curve ideal for sensitive electronics.

Premium Member blackout Posted March 12, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted March 12, 2019 The dealer said it weighs 550 pounds. Hard to believe it is that light, but it's definitely lighter than a steel framed trailer. Craig Mapstone Upstate New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstyammerha Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I had trailers years ago but had so many problems with flat tires, lighting failures and fenders coming loose and falling on the tire that I picked up a old high mileage Ranchero and used a 2x8 to load two RM's in it. Before the Ranchero, my wife's Pinto pulled the trailers ( very slowly). Thinking about that Pinto being passed by Semi's going uphill brings a smile to my face.
