Re: [MBZ] Trailers
I have always struggled with backing a trailer. Probably because I only do it maybe once a year. My pop-up camper is the usual victim, and it is pretty short also so I think that makes it harder. I've never backed a 5th wheel. Allan G Mann via Mercedes writes: > This is what will be my next trailer.

Re: [MBZ] Trailers
This is what will be my next trailer. I will have it built for 5th wheel instead of bumper pull [far superior for handling and backing up]. Also, I want 7,000 lb axles with 12 ply 16 inch tires, so will be a custom build order to get all that. This link has a video that shows how slick they are to load and unload.. a bit spendy, but very nice. https://maxxdtrailers.com/drop-n-load-trailers On Sun, May 2, 2021 at 8:53 PM Allan Streib via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes writes: > > > Anyway, I debated on keeping my trailer as you can never have too many > > trailers, right?

I talked to a guy who has ads on fakebook buying cats. There are many of these ads. Anyway I sent him some pics of some cats I have laying around that are already pulled. These were off of 210 gas cars and had one from a 124. He says the 210 ones are worth 477. His deal is he will come and pull them and takes 10% of what they are worth. After I figured out what numbers they are looking at I looked them up and he is correct. I looked up the one off the 124 and it was worth nearly $600.

Re: [MBZ] Trailers
> It is simply amazing how the cost of these [trailers] has gone up over the > years. I looked for a long time to find my used wood-bottomed trailer, at $800. It has side rails and doesn't tilt. Ramps store on the deck. Pretty basic. I welded a hand winch to the front, for the occasional hulk. Anyway, the original owner said he'd towed ONE car on it, and thereafter it was always a hay trailer until he sold it to me. I've hauled cars on it, and firewood. Neighbors have hauled hay and miscellany. I put on stake pockets and built a tinkertoy-style frame so that it could be used as a parade float. (Tarp roof, and waist-high side rails.) I've used it as a storage shed, in its float configuration but with a bigger tarp than usual...

[MBZ] Trailers
Back in 2005 I bought my 18' steel floor car trailer brand new for either $1600 or $1800, can't remember which. At the time wood floor trailers were either $1200 or $1400. I used that that trailer to haul hundreds of cars over the years. My buddy who is retiring sold me his car trailer yesterday for $2k. It is a major upgrade as mine was a basic sort of trailer. This one has the chrome diamond plating all over, has a shield that bolts on the front, has a good mounting plate for a winch (comes with a removable winch), has all those running lights all over, the big deal it has the ramps that slide out the back rather than the ones that store in the side that you have to carry around to the back. Also has some fancy American Racing alloy wheelsI will need to do a minor amount of work to it, mainly just replacing the trailer connector as he had a 4 way flat plug which does not run the trailer brakes. Need to replace that then see if the trailer brakes work. I see trailers similar to it listed for something like $8k. Anyway, I debated on keeping my trailer as you can never have too many trailers, right? I decided to go ahead and list it on Fakebook last night and sold it today for $3500. It is simply amazing how the cost of these things has gone up over the years. Maybe I should have kept it and was kind of sad to see it go. I have been on many towing adventures with that trailer. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
