Jon 533 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 For starters I doubt your truck can handle all the weight you're planning on towing once you add it all up. Check the GVW of both the truck and trailer. What kind of brakes does the trailer have, electric or surge, hopefully electric. Now even if your truck could handle the weight go for a larger trailer since you will outgrow that little one in a year, two at most. Remember you will buy more equipment so plan ahead and have that extra room to expand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanH 14 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 If you plan on collecting water to redistribute, you will need some method of directing it, like sand or water filled firehoses (many other solutions listed in other threads). Throw an Xjet in there somewhere...believe me it is worth it. A bigger trailer is definitely a good suggestion. I'm working with a 4'x8' right now and things are packed in like eggs in a crate. I have to put my ladder and surface cleaner in the truck bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
