Debating on buying a trailer

So I went and looked at two trailers on Friday. I'm debating on getting one of them.

I managed to get the guy to switch the lunette over to the good trailer and the price is 375. It will for sure need a ton of work. The rust doesn't seem to be cancerous but would for sure need to be sand blasted.

The is up in the air about it. She says there is absolutely no use for such a device

Made provisions to actually pick one up, but not sure if I'm going to pull the trigger.


Bolted to the cross member, reinforced with 1/4" plate steel welded in place.

Yeah, for real. I think the biggest issue is really where to put it. Just 5 inches more in the garage and it'll fit in front of the rabbit. Maybe it'll fit if I tip it up on end.

I think the camping argument is the best...was thinking that I can haul all of our stuff in the trailer and sleep in the back of the truck for those long trips that we do in the summer. We like to sleep in the back of the truck, but we usually end up moving all of the stuff up to the front seats and have to use the roof top shell that we have.

Maybe I can convert it into a portable hot tub...you know, fill it with water, add some jets and a little pump with a heater...then maybe she'll approve!
