Trailer doesn’t even equal tongue weight of the hitch.

Taking up to Mass to sell it tomorrow.

Still not sure what I want to replace it.

Man, that's a bummer that you're selling...teardrops are awesome...but I totally understand outgrowing a camper. You've got plenty of truck for whatever you decide to replace it with, but seeing a teardrop behind an F350 like that does give me a grin Big Grin.

Just tell everybody it's an electric F350 and you're towing the battery pack since it's too big to fit under the chassis. Eek

Can I ask what you're getting for it?

Anytime I see one for sale at what I think is an acceptable price, they're gone in a heartbeat.

Saw one (that style/size) that day with a $3k price tag on it. I fought real hard not to pull over look at it.

Minutes before, I saw an old Bronco for sale that a few days prior I would have bought.

I saw both of them no doubt because the universe is very cruel. Pretty much the day before I'd decide to make a major purchase. Maybe, possibly, if I could swing it. Because I had no idea what the price would be, or if it would happen. But I knew one thing, if I bought that truck or that trailer, I surely wouldn't be able to. lol Like only meeting women that you'd like to date, when you're already in a relationship. Frown

You just can't beat a small trailer that that for spending a week or so driving from river to river for some serious fishing. You would have no trouble selling it....as I guess you know.

Besides perhaps rust, anything to check out in detail when buying a used one?
Without knowing anything about them other than they look useful for certain types of trips, am I likely to get suckered into buying a crap one or is it just about price?

Those teardrops seem very popular out here. Have seen dozens of them. They seem like a good low cost entry into the camper world.

Not only low cost, but you can tow them with pretty much anything, and take them pretty much anywhere. If there weren't six of us, I'd have one in a heartbeat.

I'm also really intrigued by these: https://intech.com/rv/sol/?gad...upf1mTcaAorVEALw_wcB

Aluminum frame construction for lighter weight, seem very well constructed and outfitted, not too crazy big but still offer plenty of comforts, and they're built right up the road in Nappanee, IN.

Are you sure you have enough truck to tow that? You might need another axle.

Trailer sold for 14k, we’ll be looking to get something bigger for sure once I find out 100% where I’m headed next. If heading back overseas it’ll be advantageous being trailerless. One less thing to worry about
