Open trailer towing

[mbulriss]

John,

I towed with an open trailer. It wasn’t too bad unless you were running through rain. You’d get a light patina of dust if it was dry.

I upgraded that trailer to an aluminum bed Chaparral with a large parts box across the front with tire rack on top and wing walls behind it. The car stayed clean. BTW, that trailer is available for sale.

Subsequent to that, I upgraded to a 24’ Performax enclosed trailer. The contents are safe from all weather and from thieves, so no worries about leaving stuff in the vehicle. That trailer is also available for sale right now. I have even had the Hummer in it.

Currently we use a stacker for all the toys. I think a key problem with any trailer is finding parks you can get into a pull through without having to unhook the trailer and park it in an overflow area. Because of that most of our travels involve dry camping in truck rest areas, on occasion a truck stop, and mainly race tracks. But dry camping is definitely not a problem with a Bird.

Good luck - and if you need a trailer …..
