My new trailer

I had been looking for a trailer that I could use for storage and moving. In my searches, I found one that can also be used for camping (its also set up for ice fishing). Its a 2005 6x12 Haulmark. It is slightly used, but in really good shape. It has been lined with spray insulation and then paneled over that. There has been more lights added, and a stereo that will run off either the vehicle or 12v battery in the trailer. It is also plumbed for a propane heater big enough to heat a garage. The guy said that they went a little overboard on the heater, and the the trailer is so well insulated that the pilot light is just about enough to heat it.

I am planning, in the future, to replace the tires with the same tires and wheels that I have on the Mountaineer, so in a worse case scenario, if I were to get two flats, my trailer spare is the same as the truck.




Sams club is no joke! (Stocking the camps snackery to the tune of roughly $950!)

That thing makes ur rig look tinny!!

Looks like it should be a good little trailer for you. I got myself a new trailer too, pick it up Friday, but it too will make my rig look small.

So to fit same size tires on the trailer, are you lifting it, or moving the fenders?

probably modify the fenders, I haven't even checked the bolt pattern on this axle, so I may need a new one.

All the trailers I own are 5x4.5" which should be the same as an explorer/mountaineer. - well, thats what my ranger was.

I knew a lot of trailers are 5x4.5, I just didn't want to say it was without checking.
