Trailer rental

Following for future reference...

@Live-a-Little! Someone posted they had rented a U-haul car hauler and added wood to the backend of the trailer for the sling rear tire. I will look and see if I can find it.

Trailers for the Slingshot

Maybe he could shed some more light on it.

Yes, it was me. What can I help you with?

Quote from Live-a-Little!

I didn't see a wench on the trailer.

If you find one with a WENCH, let me know, cuz I'd rent one too just to have at her!!!
(Of course, only if the wench is wicked hot!!!)

I did have to add two 2x10s to the front of the trailer so the front end wouldn't hit the stop .

I used 2 straps per side to have enough clearance to keep from damaging the front plastic. I wrapped it around the upper control arm.

In the pic with the straps and winch hooked up you can see another 2x10 under the front wheels to raise the front end just enough so it doesn't drag on the ramps.

It probably took me 2 hours to build and load the sling, but that involved a lot of thinking. It only took about 15 minutes to install the rear tire support and load it the second time.

Seriously, don't limit yourself to Uhaul, or any other rental store. Many of the trailer dealerships up here rent them. They rent them, hoping to get you to buy one. You'd be able to rent an enclosed if you wish.

I rented a 7' x 14' open trailer to carry mine to the Smokies last year. It was a PITA, this year I'll just be riding the Sling down.
