New Toy For The Tahoe
Picked up this little 6x12 trailer today. It hasa motorcycle package with the ramp/door, 4 floor mounted d-ring tie downs, 12v interior light, etc. I don't ride motorcycles anymore but wanted the ramp and tie downs.

I'm only going to use it for a month or so then sell it becauseI'm moving and won't reallyneed it after that. U-Haul wanted $1,000 for a 5x10, this trailer was $3,500. Even if I sell it for $3,000 I will have saved money and had the convenience of usinga trailer when, where and how I wanted.
I was kinda surprised that even with an 8" drop on the hitch,the trailerstill doesn't sit level. The wheels aren't super small or anything (14”). What drop are you guys using?

Nice trailer Hatch. I would hang onto it if you can.
As far as the drop, I asked a similar question a few months ago and the consensus seemed to be 5".

5" drop probably does work well for trailers with larger wheels. I first tried a 3 1/4 drop, looked like the trailer was going #2. Even with the 8" drop my trailer is squatting. Friggin' hitches ain't cheap either!

You are a wise guy...! I bought a trailer that a person did the same thing as you, purchase to move... They used it when they needed to & sold itto me.. Talk a bout my heart burn when I gladly paid just $50 less than he paid (he gave me all the title, reg, warranty ect) NEW for the trailer in NY. It was a fair deal for me, but a great deal for him... I still did much better than buying in FL.
