Tommy,

It takes a few years to get established.

I really enjoy traveling the lower 48 states, the cars are always great
and 98% of the people are great as well.

I never know what I will haul next .... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

I just transported (3) 1970 Mopart cars for an owner/builder from Fresno, CA up to Bandon, OR.
All were 440 six pack cars - all were very nice.

Then - I took a 1938 Cadillac complete roller from Toledo, WA east to Billings, MT.

Then - I drove empty back to Toledo, WA to pick up a complete 1936 Pierce Arrow 7 Passenger Sedan roller.
It is the bottom image - shown loaded in the trailer @ss first because of the weight.

It is the heaviest Pre WW2 car I have hauled to date - just over 6000 pounds .... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Thought I'd post some pics of my 99 Haulmark trailer 24 foot. Just re-painted outside of trailer and re-did the inside as well with fresh paint and 2&quot; ramps so driver side car door now opens fully.

Looks great Jim. Did you have to do anything to the frame in terms of cleanup painting etc.?

Has anyone considered using E-track on floor (under tires) with that strapping system
that goes over tires ?????

I'm thinking about tackling frame next. I'm sure it's a bit crusty under there after 17 years of service in Midwest and don't want to open up a huge can of worms.
Possibly wire brush the crusty stuff and then use POR or a similar rust product.

I did put new axles on this trailer is 2011.

Re: Enclosed car haulers?
 
I have not pictures up of my trailer, but it has served me very well. I am glad to have purchased the trailer I have and would it to anyone.

I have a 2005 H&amp;H enclosed-- 24' V nose. 5200# axles. Switched to Load Range E's on the 15&quot; rims and that has made all the difference.

Trailer Aid or nailed dimensional lumber as a ramp to get a flat tire up off the ground.

Cordless impact is worth its weight in gold.

E-track in the floor has worked well and given me flexibility to tie down anything.

3/4&quot; marine grade plywood floor has held up well.

Bonded aluminium sides and roof mean no rivets. Smooth and clean.

The lights are LEDs and any exposed metal for the frame were covered in Line-X.

Just had another weekend pull to Michigan and back. 1700 miles and it was ready for another weekend out.

E trac is the way to go ...

All my enclosed car haulers trailer have heavy duty 50K rated etrac that is bolted thru
both floor layers - you can drive over the heavy etrac without deforming it.
