10k or less trailer.

2017+ Ford Super Dutys with dual rear wheels come with a 3" tow receiver, instead of the very common 2.5" tow receiver. 3" tow hitches are harder to come by, and can be pricey. Sleeves are available to use 2.5" tow hitches in 3" receivers. Any significant downside to using the sleeve? I know...

Always a question in my mind, should never seize or grease be put in the tow receiver to protect the receiver from corrosion when not in use? If someone was to keep their tow hitch in the receiver year round, I would go with never seize without question. But if someone is pulling out and...

Driving south on I5 in Northern California, in a area of a lot of olive groves. I look to my right and see a RV park that the parking spots put the RVs under/ text to olive trees. How cool is that. I suspect this is not a destination park. But for a overnight-er right on the interstate, a nice...

This photo is fake, but still reminds me of RVs being towed in the Northern Utah area. I steered clear when I saw setups like this. In Utah, it was typically a truck, RV, and then boat. Going through grade and curves. Must work, but more than I can comprehend.

Recently I have been seeing a pattern of one wheel significantly dirtier than the other on dual axle trailers. Seems primarily the front left, but I have also seen the rear right. Just a fluke- or is there a reason?

Yes, stunningly beautiful area. Parts of the Rio Grande River running along the boarder of the park bring pockets of a green oasis to the parched terrain. One must find beauty in parched terrain to enjoy the area.

Wow, all looks great-especially the trees bursting with green!

The auction just went from $7600 USD to over $11,000. Appears a bidder from MO wants this bad. I set my alarm clock, I like this trailer and it matches certain needs. When wake up I am prepared to go to $15,600 USD. Shame as I think just one or two bidders will take this trailer from a 9-15k...

The video is stating a Class A license (non CDL) is needed for towing a RV of a certain length and/ or weight, not a CDL. Interesting twist, as it appears it may be a challenge getting a non CDL class A license issued. I was not aware a class A license were still being issued after CDLs became...

Neat video by a RVer on getting a NON CDL class A license (Kansas). Long video, but think knowing the information may have benefits.

A BITOG member sent me this trailer that goes to auction tomorrow. I can't post the pictures but here is a link to the trailer: https://www.schneiderauctioneers.com/auctions/30319/lot/12447-2007-atc-32-enclosed-cargo-trailer I am going through a change of life (how weird is that) and may need a...

This Wells Cargo salvage with front end damage went to auction in Denver this morning. I suspect the winning bid with fees is about $4400 out the door. And of course, all the time and money to repair, make road worthy, and convert the title to rebuilt.

This 2017 Doolittle with a salvage title (not rebuilt title) sold on 17 MAR 2024 in Sioux Falls SD at auction for $3600 including fees. Of course, one has to do the work and invest the time to convert the title to rebuilt, so the trailer can be registered. And there is cost involved, and a lot...
