Trailer to rent
Dear ETR family,
I have found myself where I am needing to rent a trailer for SCCA solo2 nationals in September. I have neve not had a trailer to take of my own so I have never had to ask this question. Mark and I will be going out to nationals this year and I am not even sure what day we will be going but I didn't know if there was anybody that would let us use their trailer to get to nationals for a fair price or not.
Thank you,
Robert Carpenter

How good are the brakes on the tow vehicle? The trailer Pilson and I have been trading back n forth isn't going anywhere that week. But, the electric brakes are not working and the bearings might need repacked before a long trip. Not sure I could get all that serviced before y'all head out that way.
It's an option if you can't find one more up to date on service.

I will gladly help get the trailer ready to go if you all need me to as I will be going over my trailer once Jon gets done with fixing the front and adding a break away brake on it.

I've got a 20 ft car trailer you can use. Has winch mounted on front. Takes 2 5/16 ball. It's yours to use for free if you need it.

Re: Trailer to rent
Ted and Randy,
Thank you and I will get with one of you guys. My truck is a F-250 and I haven't had brakes on my trailer for years so stopping the trailer isn't a problem with the light weight cars I have been running for years now. I need to talk with Mark to make sure we are on the same page on when we are heading out to Nationals. Thanks again!

Re: Trailer to rent
Rob,
I have a pretty nice beaver tail trailer that I could sell you for $1100. i can send you pictures. Pilson & JY looked it over at Wilmington and said it's worth $1300-$1500 as it sits. We are upgrading to an Alumna 18 foot tilt because I am tired of dealing with ramps.

Re: Trailer to rent
Thanks Brian but I sold my trailer earlier this year so I am not in the market for another trailer right now, but I will keep it in mind. Sounds like a great price!
Thank you,
Robert

Re: Trailer to rent
Since I'm new to towing, I thought this might be a good thread to post in with some questions
1 - Do you guys register and tag your trailers? Since I'll be towing out of state, it seems like I should do this.
2 - Some laws I've read indicate that a fire extinguisher must be present on any trailer over 1500 lb gross.
3 - Looks like an electronic breakaway system is required on any trailer over 1500 lbs. Guess I need to do this.
Anything else I'm missing?

Re: Trailer to rent
I have a tag, but it is in my truck and Coatney is putting a breakaway system on my trailer as I type this and I think a fire extinguisher is a good idea since I know first hand what a fire can do to a car. I did get pulled over in GA. when I was going to get my GT500 and luckily I had a temp tag.

Re: Trailer to rent
Yes, you need a tag if towing out of state. You used to be able to get a permanent tag for not much more than the standard renewable tag. Not sure if that is still the case.
Electronic breakaway braking is probably required but I almost never see them actually on trailers. They are definitely a good idea.

Re: Trailer to rent
I thought that most states (Maryland being the major exception) honored other states requirements ? is that no longer the case ?

Re: Trailer to rent
Yeah I downloaded the regulations. If you have trailer brakes, the breakaway system is required.MARKP wrote:

Re: Trailer to rent
I have a permanent trailer tag it's labelled "SEMI" and never had to be renewed. I just presented my title to the Trailer, paid my $50 or so dollars, don't remember the EXACT amount and now I have a tag that will allow me to tow out of state without any hassles. I also upgraded my lights to LED because many officers will pull people over for no trailer lights (or 'hard to see" lights) and while I love and support our Men and Women in Blue, i don't like talking to them on the side of the road.
I don't have a breakaway system but my trailer has electric brakes, seems like overkill to the max and I am a safety freak. The new Aluminum ones I am looking at all have breakaway systems.
