What to do?
Now that the Ranger pickup has gone back off lease, I have an occasional
use for a small utility trailer.
Here's what I'm looking at right now...
Lifetime fold-up 4' x 6' model capable of carrying 1000 lbs. Canadian
Tire has them on sale next week at $800.00 CDN.
pros...small & light...very easy to store on small city lot. deck made
of galvanized corrugated steel
cons... way more moving parts to sieze & rust...light duty.. inside
dimensions just a hair too small for laying 4' wide sheets flat,
frame is powder coated steel

DuraTrail 52" x 100" galvanized Econo Utility with landscape ramp
pros..can easily carry full sheets of plywood, gyproc etc
hot dipped galvanized for long lasting in our salt air climate/ winter
road salt
can carry approx 1700 lbs
cons.. 2.5 times the cost.....$1900.00 down here (only $1500.00 in
Ontario where they are built)
might be a bit awkward to move around & store on a small lot

Got a trailer rental joint anywhere near?

Naw...that's the problem.
U-Haul keeps it's crappy worn out trailers across the harbour and the
utility type are few & far between.
Those larger enclosed models people use for moving would max out my RAV4s
towing limit before I loaded a 2" x 4".
Actually when you add up the yearly license fee ( $40 ) + yearly safety
checks ( $15 ) plus depreciation I could probably rent a pickup two or
three times a year and break even... especially with the $1900. model.
