I have this trailer listed on Houston CL (http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/1056488943.html)
The trailer is in great shape for a '94 model. The rear axles are air ride, and have a dump valve for them. The tires will need to be replaced soon, and a few boards on the deck will need to be replaced also. This trialer is great to pull. The ramps in the picture are no longer with the trailer. They got turned into an RTI ramp.

I really don't know what this trailer is worth, but if you want to make an offer on it, let me know. The bank has the title on it, but my grandad has my POA so he can take care of all the paperwork.

I am keeping the pete, just want to sell the trailer. To keep the trailer and ever use it, I have to keep the pete comercially licensed and insured. I want to end up making one of the super long trailers with the travel trailer on the front and room for a rig or two on back. I can license and insure it as an RV with a few simple mods (shore power connection, camping stove and couple of others) which will make it affordable to keep. I can then either mount the welder and such on the back of the truck and move the kingpin back, or just chop an axle off and shorten the truck up to make it easier to manuver into campsites.

I am thinking something like this but on a bit larger scale. I still have to research the length restrictions, and then do some calcs to see what size I-beam to use on the trailer but it shouldn't be too hard. I plan on going with three 12k axles spread like he has them. If I bag them, I should be able to rig it so that I can pull up the back two to help make tight turns.

And that is a short one. ;)

There is one on pirate that has a full 5th wheel travel trailer and room for two rigs behind it. :eek:

I can't find that thread though. :(

Comercial insurance was $400/month, so yes. I can get motorhome insurance on it for a good bit cheaper, and won't have to have a cdl to drive it.
