Don M. 14 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 I found this new 6x12 trailer for 2 grand. Will it be a good starting point for a hot water set-up?

Larry B 55 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 The problem I see is not enough GVWR. It will only allow you to put an additional #1800 on it. A skid is #750 empty, a small 100 gallon tank full would be over #850 and you are already over your GVWR without chems etc.. Go with a #7000 GVWR tandem and you will have less worry.

Jeff 232 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 I'd also suggest tandem. I'd also want more head room Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with Larry. That said, here's my $0.02; Most 2990# trailers are actually 3500#. They must under rate to avoid installing trailer brakes. I started with a 6x10 "2990" pounder and pulled a 300# roll around, and 300gal tank, and a gaggle of 15 gals for a year. It worked well for me, and since it was an open trailer I only paid $825 new. I also know a PW'er that pulls a 275 on a 4x4 1000# trailer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
