Well, the new trailer is on its way to a new owner. And I get an extra 30-odd feet in the driveway! She's SOLD!!!
26 Foot Haulmark
36 inch tongue with brand new (not even installed yet) 2,500# electric jack
Slant nose for good aero (I tow from Detroit to Chicago @ 14,000 # and at 70 mph on 3/4 tank of gas.
Tows straight
Max speed 92 mph (in 2009 on the way to Jake's place in Colorado)
2009 I re-skinned in alupanel (gloss black with 2 foot of stainless around bottom)
Beavertail, and HD ramp door with HD spring assist
Piano hinged side door (37")
Retractable side door steps (RV type)
Tandem axles with 6,000# axles....trailer weighs about 5,000# so you have 7 thousand pounds of capacity
Rewired in 2010 with LED lights; High and Low tailights for better visibility
No plywood in floor; the floor is 10by planked (inch and half thick) covered in aluminum checkerplate, this is much stronger and much more solid than plywood. Floor is also the old four-channel frame with 8-inch steel floor joists. Weighs more than the new trailers, but is much more solid. the result is that there is little flex in the chassis, so the trailer tracks better.
Undercoated and oil sprayed
All new brakes and 8-ply tires in 2009; about 6,000 miles since then
12v and 100v lights - two fluorescents in work bay
Walk-on roof. Has NEVER leaked.
No air conditioning (I'm in Canada, EH?)
Single roof vent with new cover. (again no leaks)
Insulated and factory covered ceiling.
Insulated and factory paneled side walls
2 and 5/16 ball
6,000 pound spring axles.
7 foot height, 6.5 foot inside.
Sloped roof so it sheds snow and water
16-foot awning in great shape.
External 110v outlet
All new exterior alupanel siding installed with over a thousand stainless screws.Guaranteed no-fade for 25 years.
In Canada we have to have our trailers "safety certified" each and every year. I will have this done before you take possession; this will guarantee you that there are no problems or reliability issues with the trailer...just hook up and enjoy the season!
Trailer has a full set of vortex generators at the tail (sides and roof). This added about 2 MPG when towing and also makes the trailer more stable in cross-winds.
One spare tire
Warn 2500# winch included
200-watt 12v stereo installed last year; sounds great!
Built-in storage locker in the very front; 40 inches wide, 7 feet long and 3 feet high. Lotsa room for tires, batteries, extension cords, lawn chairs, etc.
42" X 36" sliding glass/screened RV window installed up front.
Break-away box
Now all the less-than positive stuff:
The wheels (6-lug) were originally chrome. That is just a memory. The wheels have been painted and the covered with Pep Boys "cool dude" kinda styled hub caps. They are good from 20 feet.... To make the trailer really look nice, you could change them to alloy wheels for about $400
The slope nose fairing is great for aero, but you lose about two feet in head room. So the trailer may be 26 feet inside, but you can only stand up in 24 of them! I built a full-width plywood storage locker that stores the spare tire, lawn chairs, battery for the winch, power cords, etc. It also doubles as a day bed, because at my age, I need a nap now and then!
I bought the trailer with a "temporary" dividing wall at the 18-foot mark. Lots of room for the car in the back, and I used the front 8 feet for parts storage, a rack for sleeping, etc. You might want to remove it to get the full 26 foot length. Not a biggie, but you need to know this.
The fenders and the slope nose are fiberglass; that's cool but they are faded and need to be sanded, primed and painted. Otherwise they look "flat black" compared to the new (shiny) black and stainless siding.
Every two years I paint the roof with a silver brush-on paint (Tremclad). Takes about a day's work. Keeps the water out, reflects the heat. It is due this year.
I also have a portable 2,000 watt generator on a custom-welded cart. We can negotiate if you need one.
I licensed the trailer as a home built back in the day....it was a lot easier than "registering" the trailer as I bought it in new York.
Not a problem, but you need to know. The title is clear.
I will deliver the trailer across the border for you at my nearest crossing to your location; this will be either Buffalo or Port Huron.
I'll post some pics later today after I take em.
$6,000 takes it. I hate to see it go, but I just cannot fit everything in it; a new 32 footer is on the way!
Thanks, Tom
