Trailer Advice Needed
My wife and I have decided that the time is getting close when we should move back to Grand Island, Nebraska to be near our family in our “dotage” (I’m 72 and my wife is 70). Hate the thought of losing the mountains and the great climate, but we like the people back there so we’ll adjust (been here about 18 years).
Rather than spending the big bucks on a mover, I’m seriously considering buying a new enclosed car trailer, making two or three trips with it, and when I’m finished with the move sell it. As you can see in my signature, I pull a big Airstream so I am OK with large trailers.
What advice do you guys have for me? Any hidden pitfalls that I need to know? I looked at some locally built Interstate Loadrunner car trailers this week. They look pretty nice and certainly would be adequate for what I have in mind. I don’t know how hard it might be to resell it after I use it. I had considered a snowmobile trailer until I saw the smaller wheels and tires and the low GVWR. Also, I think a car trailer would sell easier than a snowmobile trailer in central Nebraska.
Our move is probably going to occur within the next 18 months so I’m not under pressure to buy anything quickly. I’ll appreciate any response from you guys.
