Your CRV is really squatting
That was my point about a balanced load. A longer trailer would slow you to adjust the tongue weight by shifting the SXS back or forward over the axel(s).
Just wondering what the axle rating is vs the weight of your pioneer? I know some motorcycle trailers arent rated very high at all.
When that ones not big enough for all vehicles going....
Or when it's over night stays and I need to lock up....
I agree with you totally. I just remember looking at some trailers that were only rated at 1000 lbs is why I asked. I got educated on a lot of things when I was wanting to buy my first trailer. Knowing nothing about a purchase is dangerous.....On my trailer gross carrying capacity is 1400 lbs ( another number gvc .. - 1850 lbs), P500 "Curb Weight 1010 pounds - Includes all standard equipment, required fluids and full tank of fuel" plus my extras should be around 300 lbs max ( my guesstimate) . I bought it from a guy who was trailing his golf cart, then found Condor Pit-Stop/Trailer-Stop with a kit and could not be happier for how easy is to put and demount it from trailer with minor modification ( keeps my extra heavy bikes very nice . Since I dont have space/need for bigger trailer , and this also helped me to sway away and to buy P500 instead of P1000. For now it works great for me and when my dad visits me during hunting season. My girlfriend is coming in a week, will see what she will say about P500. I was working on winterizing all my bikes, compressors, lawnmower and she offered help to wait for her , I guess its a good sigh
My phlospophy is to maximazie use of what I have before I step up .
Hi,
I know you probably researched it but I have a question. How did they attach the aluminum body to the steel axle? I found out when I was looking for an aluminum trailer that many manufacturers didn't address the fact that when aluminum and steel come in contact with each other it causes a chemical reaction that either corrodes the aluminum or the steel (I cant remember which). I even saw a few when I was looking that had the (raw) steel from the axle directly in contact with aluminum. I couldn't get a good answer in how it wouldn't cause corrosion from anyone so I ended up buying a steel trailer. A lot heavier but at least I knew enough about steel to be dangerous.
Is there anything that you can do about it? I really would love to know if there was something that could be done about it...I pull my trailer with an old 96 Montero V-6...lol
Nice looking trailer! Can you tell me ballpark what you paid for it? Also, how is R and P to deal with?
$2200 out the door with a spare tire. Seem to be good to deal with. I'll know more after I actually get it.
