Sorry, I'm just circling back to your post. I copy you on toting that excursion. Here is the dilemma we find ourselves in. If we get a covered trailer for just our little Audi, and stay within our...

I don't think we can afford anything new. Unfortunately, small used stackers with a/c seem to be nearly impossible to find.

A Renegade would be my first choice, just because I'm funny that way...

I've been looking for a half an hour. Can't find a used one either:(

Follow-up: I sent them a message. Didn't bother with the price on that one, just asked about a "less accessorized" version to...

I'm sure, but they look quite pricey. The one you sent in the link looked perfect. Unfortunately, I'd have to strip quite a few options out to get the price down.

With regard to vehicles, I only plan to take one of the SUVs and sometimes a golf cart. I was thinking of getting a lift with a complete floor and making that into a loft for the boys. I think...

That Becker is beautiful, but I wonder if that 4000lb ramp door can be upgraded?

I wish I had known that you are a DJI dealer. My sister in law and I just gave my wife an Inspire for her birthday.

78 tall would be close for our excursion. Would need 7700lbs capacity just for...

You are a post ahead of me. I just looked at the v-nose trailer. I'd prefer to go that route, but I don't believe either of our SUVs will fit in there or they may be too heavy for either the axles...

Sam, that is one heck of a rig! We had a similar experience when we test "rode" in our truck. It had a 31' stacker hanging on the back because the dealer could not find the key that opened the...

If I go with a regular car hauler or a not so tall stacker, I could definitely go that route with a rooftop unit. Unfortunately, many of the stackers are maximum height. The front mount ACs are...

We just took a little weekend trip to Chincoteague, VA. Our adventure resurrected the stacker, 4-down, open trailer discussion. I remain a fan of an open trailer. The wife is now really pushing a...

We used the axle straps this weekend. They were a pain to get on and off. I may be switching to the wheel straps, so I don't have to crawl under the car. I guess in an enclosed trailer you have to...

Stacker questions

We need to take a car with us for our outing this weekend. I figure I will just strap the DW's Audi to my equipment trailer and drag it behind the truck. However,this has really gotten our wheels...
