Maybe a small utility trailer would work better. Then you can unhook it and go food shopping, and still have room for groceries in your vehicle (besides not having to carry around all that weight).
That’s the perfect scenario but we all know the stuff will end up in the car as well as the trailer, we just can’t help ourselves :roll:
DING DING DING!
I have many trailers.
I've got a small four wheeler trailer that has two gaylords on it already, that are fully loaded...I'm well over the weight capacity of the trailer. I keep dumping power supplies in the gaylords too! lol
Here's the best part...in the US, if your loaded trailer / truck combination weights more than 10,001 pounds (which isn't hard), you can't cross state lines without it being a commercial truck...which is a lot of extra paperwork, licensing, regulation, etc.
An enclosed snowmobile trailer is the way to go.
LOL. Until you get caught. Then the fines will cost more than the compliance. We cross state line so we are well aware of all the crap one has to go thru. Say you get caught pulling a snowmobile trailer full of scrap. Say you have crossed state lines. Well, they sure can't force you to open your trailer, but they sure can weigh you, right there on the spot. And if you are overweight, then they can ask you to open your trailer. You don't have to, but it's gonna cost you big time either way. Just for an example, since you are over 10 and across state lines, you need to file your UCR every year. it's 75 buck a year and you get nothing for it. If you don't have it, automatic $200.00 fine, plus from there they will just have at you. No CDL, no inspection, no DOT number, no health card, no pre trip, and on and on. Don't risk it, get legal and do it right as they are really starting to crack down on the small guys.
