Default How about a trailer?

Now that we've resolved the trailer hitch, how about concepts for a vette trailer?

Not sure what you are looking for but several C5 guys bought trailers at harbor freight to tow their race wheels to the track. I believe it was a couple of hundred dollars.

Did we resolve it? I saw two threads that people threw hand grenades into.

The Harbor Freight trailer is a cheapie bolt together. My brother has one and it works for his tires, but it's certainly not a heavy duty trailer. If you use one, put it together tight! What about taking some aftermarket Corvette wheels and cutting some of the width out of them for matching trailer wheels? Might be a lot of trouble, but it would look cool.

By the way, I support diversity in the forum. Which means if you use something other than Zaino, something other than a Valentine 1, and if you want to modify your own car your own way, you are ok with me. It's boring if we're all the same.

Gregg.

Thank you
www.harborfreight.com and search for trailers.

Don't consider anything with less than 12 inch wheels.

I have their 990 lb GVW folding trailer with 4x8 bed. It folds up into about 5 ft x 2ft floor space and seems to be decent trailer. It's for my truck, not my Vette. I did buy it with the idea of getting rid of my truck and using it with my Vette, but decided to keep the truck.

We can give you more meaningful answers if you give us a better idea what you want.

What do you want to carry with the trailer? How fast and how far?

What size trailer bed do you need/want?

How much does appearance matter? Do you care about what poseurs think or just want a decent trailer?
