    car trailer

     



    Matt,if you check around you can find good deals on car trailers. Keep in mind that in this state you have to have a self enclosed breakaway system that will lock the brakes should it come detatched from the tow vehicle.While I've never been stopped on my way to Afton,Five mile point,or Accord,I do know several who have,and boy did they get nailed by the judge. My pal and I got his hydralic deck trailer at a car show in Jersey,offered him 2 grand at the end of the show,and towed it home with us. We since added an electric winch,and have towed home disabled cars from as far as Ohio,so it has almost paid for itself already.Don't waste your time on illegal junk. A good trailer you can use forever. Hank

    breakaway system, what's that? only thing I thought was needed is safty chains, is this for car trailers only? both my dad's boats only have surge brakes and safty chains, maby the surge brake will lock the brakes up when the toung digs in?. I keep looking for trailers listed as car trailers, some I'v seen do have surge brakes, most of them I see have electric brakes.
