Hah - thanks for the compliments.

I'm single; so I get a little bit more flexibility with my money. when I'm dead I'm spending it on internet fees and a web cam - www.seemerot.com.

New it would be around $18K just for the trailer. Considering the stereo and tv are minor costs, but hard to wire. I'm also including the generator which is a nice one; it's not a pepboy's use it for six months and have issues with it. It has ran strong and long powering multiple car sites at the track. I've had myself and several others plugged in and no issues. [edit: I forgot about the AC unit; that's a big add-on for the dealers too, I think $1K at least]

The distribution hitch is about $500 new; so all in all it add's up. So all in all, the trailer price is pretty low which eases the tax burden of registering the trailer :-) That's another savings you won't get at the dealer...in Texas it's 8.25% ;-)

Thanks for the TTT and the nice comments! I hate to sell it, but I have other plans! I'm hoping someone going to nationals might want to have it!

JK

new it would be around $20-22K depending on where you bought it.

It's a low boy too - it's about 12inches off the ground so it makes for easy loading and unloading! :-)

It was hard to find it when I did and I paid more than that when I got it, but hey I got a good amount of use from it!

I've been in this trailer at various events, and it's a really nice thing to have air conditioning in Texas in the summer. Very nice rig.

you can't compare a stripped trailer to one with a ton of options and it is finished. Everything adds up fast to make it look like yours!

Hey thanks John and to you too Red.

You are right, it's a great trailer. I bought it as is and it's been a great ride!

There are other things that you don't think about

like a 110v package with plugs over the counter top. There are plugs at either door so you can have your compress plugged in for tires, etc etc.

With a triple axle, this is not, you need about double the room to turn it it around etc.

It's also a TAG which means a Tundra, 1500, Suburban, etc can two this. Heck even an E350 would tow it

Anyway, you guys have a great weekend and thanks for looking. In the end I may just continue to use it; might add a bathroom where the closet is :-) Then install a queen bed over the bay area and add a screen door on the side; etc etc :-)

JK

I've been traveling to track events with Joshua for a couple years now and have had trailer envy the whole time.

This is a nice setup. Generator, AC, power jack, low deck height, long ramp, he even has the Corvette logo on the back........

There's been several Texas summer days when Joshua's trailer AC does a better job than my RV!

You won't be disappointed.

Thanks John; that was a really nice thing to say!

This is likely going to be sold tomorrow; for those that looked and had good things to say - thank you. I'll update this thread tomorrow!

All the best!
