C9x, Ya they will up grade the axles to 5000# axles for an extra $500.00, which is still very reasonable. But after thinking about it, the closest track is almost 600 miles away, so maybe a 28 foot trailer would be better for me so i would have more room for parts, luggage, bikes, nagging girlfreinds etc. to travel in instead of the back of the truck.(he he he) Now I'm thinking it would be better to have a little extra space then not enough space.

My Cougar weights in at close to the 3000 # mark, then add the weight of the trailer, parts, tools, compressor, generator etc etc, and ya, the 5000# axles would defenetly be the way to go.

At first i was looking at used 40-48 foot trailers so i can have a living quarters in the front, but after rethinking the idea, it would be way cheeper for me to just rent a motel room for a few nights instead of paying all the extra money in gas to tow a trailer of that size and weight. In Canada its a little over $4 a gallon for gas.(1200 miles round trip to track and back) Plus, if anything happened to my tow vehical, its alot harder to think of a freind with a one ton dually then it is just a 1/2 ton to pull the trailer with. Hey, what are freinds for...right?.. ha ha ha

After rethinking about what you guys are saying, maybe the best idea would be to but the cheeper vinyl walls that are already in the trailer, cut the bottom 2 1/2 feet of vinyl off and put painted plywood there instead. (or just screw it right over top of the vinyl) That way i still have the durable walls near the bottom ( because thats where everyone seems to leave there boot/scrape marks ) and nice glossy clean looking upper walls and ceilings.( Ive seen trailer with carpet in that area) As for hanging items up, maybe I will just take a couple 4 foot lengths of flat steel 1" x 3/16", weld hooks on them, paint them to match the trailer, then screw them threw the vinyl walls and into the studding of the trailer, strong, cheep and will probably look good also.

Its amazing how much more you learn and think about by asking people.
