$500? Oppo needs to come together to buy it for him if he does not.

No way we can pay that much. He doesn’t have that much in most of his cars!

What’s more Oppo than towing a trailer made of the same type of car you’re driving, but is in better condition?

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the one who made that trailer.

Breaking down on the way to the race track with said car and trailer?

Better yet, he needs to build an over- landing version that matches the offroad van.

That looks surprisingly well done. NP.

What this needs is a passive steer axle, a flexible gasket at the front, and the ability to attach to a hitch without the pivot. Then it would make a van extra long.

Are we looking at the same trailer? one window randomly blanked, no window on the front (so the other windows are rendered useless when pulling it) a very ragged cut on the roof, gobs of silicone( ?) around that fr ont panel (if that’s not welded, how is it attached? and 0.9 coats of paint. Looks like a tree took out the front of the van and a boat, spa ring the trailer , and the owner hodge podged them together as one as cheaply as possible...

Now if you’ll excuse me, there are some kids on my lawn I need to yell at...

It’s entirely possible that I have garbage taste and a great appreciation for horrible beaters.

Zaxbys > shop-teacher

I mean, I’m pretty sure I do too, but I know my $ 1k beater truck is sketcho rrific

I’ve been looking for a decent but cheap utility trailer for almost a year now. I keep miss ing the deals, but I’m too cheap to pay market rate.

Hey now, this is definitely not better condition than my van.......

Long_Voyager, Now With More Caravanny Goodness > So Shiney. So Chrome! So Frunky
10/30/2018 at 16:18

Just needs matching tires and paint.

Long_Voyager, Now With More Caravanny Goodness > DipodomysDeserti
10/30/2018 at 16:18

Na, I would have cut the front way cleaner than that and kept the windows.....

Long_Voyager, Now With More Caravanny Goodness > MasterMario - Keeper of the V8s
10/30/2018 at 16:19

Hmmm, I have some spare windows. I’d kinda like to go look at it just to see. I mean I gotta paint the van anyway, so I could paint it to match...

I keep looking at this and saying “Oh! cheap sketchy trailer! Oh wait, I don’t have a place to store it. Oh wait, I have a t ruck.”

MasterMario - Keeper of the V8s > Long_Voyager, Now With More Caravanny Goodness
10/30/2018 at 16:32

Do it! I really want to see it paint matched to the van towing it.

Long_Voyager, Now With More Caravanny Goodness > MasterMario - Keeper of the V8s
10/30/2018 at 17:08

Don’t really “need” a trailer and I have better things to spend $500 on, such as supplies for painting the van...

Long_Voyager, Now With More Caravanny Goodness > So Shiney. So Chrome! So Frunky
10/30/2018 at 18:13

Hey I have a couple Gs into the van at this point. I think I have $800 in the car.

So figure I’m at $2500 for 2 reliable vehicles.............when they work.

10/30/2018 at 19:19

I mean do any of us really need most of the stuff we buy?

shop-teacher > Zaxbys
10/30/2018 at 19:29

Yeah, I've been eyeballing some similar ones. I want one narrow enough to fit between my garage and fence, so those all too wide.

OK, well I overestimated. You’re still the best evidence that you don’t need to have a ton of money into something to have a fun and interesting car, though I know you have a ton of time into your cars.

As a side note, this might be a good use for a van carcass that you can’t turn into a tree house.

I have quite a bit of time into my vehicles, but a lot of that is modifying them to be what I want, so realistically, repair-wise it’s likely no more than the average vehicle.

One also has to remember these are vehicles with over 150k (160k on the car, 240k on the van), so it’s a given they are going to need a little more work as stuff wears out.

I NEED THAT

It is only $500

I’ve been looking for a cheap enclosed trailer. That way I can cheat the “no more than four vehicles” rule at my condo. I don’t think vehicles inside other vehicles count! :D

Those are even harder to find. There was an old 6x12 on FB for $800. and it was gone in a couple hours.
