Jake@JMU Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I am working on upgrading to a small enclosed which means this trailer must go. I bought it from a friend three years ago (jeez) and it's been passed around NASA Mid-Atlantic before that. At least three of us have owned it and it's towed a Foxbody, BMWs and Minis with ease. I've pulled it with a GMT800 Yukon, newish F150 and now newish Range Rover and it's smooth sailing on all counts. Basics: 2006 Dively EconoTrailer 18' closed deck Steel construction 3500 lb axles with 7k lb GVWR All-LED lighting Low-ish fenders (at least they seem that way, I can open my E36 door no problem) White steel wheels including one spare Stake pockets on the sides/front - you can use 2x4's and build sides easily. I used to have plywood side panels but had to pitch them in my last move. Helpful for moving mulch, furniture, etc. Breakaway box/system Maintenance: The trailer has been maintained by American Truck & Trailer in Manassas, VA and I have receipts of what they have done since I purchased it. The prior owner also used them for service so they've been working on it for at least six years if not more. Tires replaced January 2017 - I believe they are Carlisle Sport Trail LH but can check this weekend. I've replaced tires every two years as insurance, never had a blowout (knocks furiously on wood). The spare tire was replaced when I bought the trailer in Spring 2015. Brakes replaced January 2017 Shackles replaced January 2017 - they had ovaled out and were causing alignment issues, everything is straight now Wheel bearings repacked January 2017 Wiring repaired as issues come up, have had zero problems the last couple of years. Replaced the main 7-pin plug/harness at the nose of the trailer as the original developed some sort of internal kink/short causing intermittent connections I resprayed the whole trailer when I bought it, with black Rustoleum. It looks fine for being a basic steel trailer that my BMW has leaked all over. Upgrades: The trailer has a pickup truck toolbox mounted to the front frame. Great to store straps, a floor jack, fluids, etc. with plenty of space. I bolted a Pit Pal fuel jug holder to the front of the deck, which will hold two 5-gallon jugs. Location & Price: $2200 OBO. Located in Northern Virginia (Alexandria). Can take better photos if anyone wants them. I am surprised that I even have this many photos of a slab of steel with wheels. Some 2x4 and plywood can make it do this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takjak2 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Do you have a guesstimate for the total trailer weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake@JMU Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Do you have a guesstimate for the total trailer weight? If it's the same/close to what EconoTrailer sells brand new now, 2,020 lbs. http://www.econotrailer.com/Full.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evoblade Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Is this trailer still available? I assume not since the post is 2 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
