Picking up said Trailer in Douglas GA on Monday morning. Then it is
1200+ miles Back to NH. It will probably cost me $500 in Fuel to go get it,
But to ship it would be around $1750.

too bad you can't find someone who's moving or who needs a car shipped or something so you could get paid to bring it home.

How was the buying experience through them? Just call and reserve?

 

[Rlaf75]

That's a nice trailer. It will probably cost you more than that for gas to pick it up. Too bad you couldnt find what your were looking for locally. I know here in CT there's a few places that sell that type of trailer. Good luck with it

If I bought it local. I would pay for the shipping along with $2-3K
in Dealer Profit too. Called on Friday morning picked up on Monday
morning. They had to finish the trim on it because of shortages. Also
a CoroPlast sheet they put in the roof had fell down so the added a piece
of aluminum angle to hold it up. took a full 24 hours to drive back up
by myself.

Sorry about the glare.

Nice, how did it tow? Any sway?

I have a similarly sized one and get some sway/squirm at 60mph+ even with the WDH / sway controller. (Empty or loaded)

I did a 1700 mile round trip to Ohio and back to Florida in mine …towed great but loved the gas pumps every 2 hours…

I had a little squirm after a slight wheel jerk on my part, but a quick squeeze of the trailer brakes straitened it right up. About 2600 miles round trip
to Douglas GA. It is made by Rock Solid Trailers.

With such long trailers, you guys are perfect candidates for a ProPride (or Hensley) hitch. Got mine used. Will make an amazing difference....

With the EcoDiesel I was getting around 450 miles to the 33 gal Tank. Once I finish the
Aux Fuel Tank it will go about 3 times farther. Without the trailer I am looking at a
3000 mile range.

Wow! I was around 8-9mpg and have the 26g tank.. so stops are frequent to say the least.

With the Aux tank, I would keep an eye on your payload limit. I know I'm at or just above my payload rating, with the bed empty, while towing trailer I posted above. It all depends on if I have passengers or not.

It is only me when I drive. The trailer is for the occasional use. I thought I lost the new
apartment and may have had to set up house in the Trailer.

First post here but I am looking grab one of these and make a cross country trip loaded at max capacity ~9990 lbs. I have a 2020 Laramie Sport 4x4 with 33gal tank and 3.92s. I also have 285/65/20 BFG KO2s. I have integrated brake controller and I will be driving solo.

All that said, I am curious if anyone would recommend this as a viable option or should I look for an alternative to moving my entire home from Florida to South Dakota... during the winter?
