Default FS: 16' open deck car trailer

FS: 16' AllProWest open deck trailer with dovetail

Price: $2199
-would consider some kind of trade where mostly cash is involved

Location: Fredericksburg, VA

Extras: Spare tire, tie-down straps

Notes: Built Nov 2008; first titled in 2009

Previous owner: Calvin(Hobbs5313) - 1st owner

I purchased this trailer Saturday May 23, 2009, from Calvin and have not titled it yet in my name. I was initially under the impression that it was a closed-deck trailer, but purchased it even after seeing it before money was exchanged. For my front deck build, we did use the 28' enclosed trailer to get lumber, however, using a shorter, open trailer would be a little easier to use in those situations. Being an open deck, it does afford one the opportunity to work on a car while on the trailer, however, it is not as convenient for the dual purposes I had in mind.

I have not used the trailer to move any cars. I simply picked it up from Calvin Saturday and drove it back to Fredericksburg(did stop at Lowe's for a couple 2x12x16'). Since the trailer was already attached, I went ahead and had it inspected here in Virginia.

Here is the link to the trailer company's webpage that has the trailer listed on it. I thought I was buying trailer #2002 when in fact, the trailer is #2003. http://www.allprowest.com/3Open_CarHaulers.html . The price listed on the site does not include the spare tire(an option) nor does it include the 6 straps that came with my purchase from Calvin. The trailer feels solid and able to carry out car-carrying chores. Brakes on all wheels is

Here are some pictures I've snapped since getting it home.



The silver tape on the bed are marks for Calvin loading his Miata. He took the time to actually weigh everything until he got a tongue weight of ~13%.

Why not fill the center with boards? I mean, it would be pretty much the same thing with the benefit of an open bottom when needed.

Either way GLWS!

Think you can bring it to my place and test it out. Say to the mechanics.

Bump for a good guy.

Price dropped.

Could possibly deliver on the PA/OH Turnpike between Breezewood, PA and Youngstown, OH.
