Re: Horse trailer buying info
This message is from: "Laurie Pittman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One of the first things you need to do is decide what you expect to do with your trailer. Do you only want to haul 1 or 2 horses? Or more? Do you ride or drive, or both? If you drive or think you will in the future, you need to decide whether to get a trailer that can accommodate a cart or if you want to mess with having to load it in the back of the truck. Which leads to another decision. Bumper pull or gooseneck? Straight load or slant? Ramp or step up? Steel or aluminum? Lots of decisions. As far as the condition of a used trailer, pull up the mats and check the floor. Look underneath too. Check the wiring. Do the lights and brakes work? What kind of shape is the body in? If any of it needs work, do you want to deal with it? I'm sure others on the list will have more to add. Good luck! Laurie
Horse trailer buying info
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Lynn Binkowski) Hi, I'm looking for information on how to buy a horse trailer (what features are important, how to make sure a used trailer is in good condition, etc.). I've seen two different books online that I'm considering, and am wondering if anyone on the list has a horse trailer resource book that they like, or if there is a good website somewhere with trailer-buying how-tos? Thanks...Lynn in CT
