Can i borrow someones car trailer?

[series3]

After some time without a landy, im on the verge of picking up my next one. (IIa SWB :):)).

If someone is willing to donate a car trailer for a couple of days for a 1400 kay round trip to pick her up, i would willingly pay in beer/other booze of choice.

Only catch is, it's late notice and was hoping to head off tonight sometime (from Maitland NSW heading to Albury).

If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

So you are lending him yours are you Matt?

It is a reasonable question, nobody has come forward with one so we gave him a reasonable answer with alternatives. As you say, in the spirit of the forum.

Personally you really have to know someone well before you lend them a car trailer or any braked trailer for that matter.

My brother has a Tuza horse float, Duratorque axles, electric brakes etc etc. He was taking two horses to an event in Sydney several hundred Klm away, but the trailer wasn't towing correctly and even blew a tyre. Changed the tyre and took the trailer to old man Tuza at Penrith to sort out the problem. Jacked up the trailer and one of the Duratorques was stuffed and the second one damaged.

A "friend" had borrowed the trailer with two horses on board had run into a median strip at speed. Didn't think to tell my brother who had to foot the bill for the repair.

No you can't borrow my car trailer, not until I have known you for a long time and have seen the way you drive. Hilton can borrow it anytime as he meets the citeria above

No offence to anyone.

If I have time available I am more than happy to help someone out towing vehicles from place to place. I am just not so keep handing over something that has cost me a number of thousand dollars for the purchase, modifications and with ongoing maintenance. I may suggest that it would be like handing over your Land Rover to someone for them to take for hundreds if not thousands of Klm.

Diana

P.S. If you don't already know, another AULRO member actually has my SIII FFR to use while their own Land Rover gets back on the road.

P.P.S. My Range Rover was also loaned to someone to drive to Corowa and back to Sydney. As was my car trailer loaned to someone else to take their Land Rover to Corowa.

P.P.P.S. That same Range Rover was previously loaned to another person to jump start their poorly maintained car with and a worn out battery. But they didn't clip down it's bonnet correctly and when I drove the car down the coast several hours later, the bonnet came up, I lost the windscreen, bonnet and the peak of my roof with damage. Yes my fault because I didn't check the bonnet when the car was returned.

Once I agreed to tow a hired car trailer back to the owner, for a friend [the elderly person who gave me the copy right on the "Trail of the Serpent" book I mentioned in another post]. Due to a very bad weld the axle broke and the wheel went flying. It was a duel axle trailer, so I returned the with three wheels on the road.

None taken, I just thought I would idly throw it out there to see, some people do mind, some people don't. Others would find the offer of booze payments attractive.

You don't really know me from a bar of soap, so its completely understandable.

You don't really know me from a bar of soap, so its completely understandable.Alcohol, is not something I do very often. In fact what people saw me drink at Corowa was what I have consumed over the last 2 years. Does anyone want the remaining Tooheys Dry that was left over from Corowa? It is in my fridge at home.

Diana :D

[Shonky]

It's always worth asking. ;)

:eek: Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing you drink at all! Maybe thats because I had too much already... :huh:

Do I want the leftovers? Affirmative, Delta Two-Zero! :D

Well... You are right there... The last one I hired locally towed beautiful but had wiring faults. Real handy in Sydney:eek:

Experience.... Yes...... Ask Disco owner. We were in his disco with a RRC on the trailer. It almost claimed the lot of us:eek:.

The trailer has been pranged by some one else a wile back and has a small twist I found after I dropped it back.:(

Borrowing things like car trailers is plain scary as you may be blamed for damages that were already there etc.

I just hire now. Think I need my own really. Just another Rego to pay:(


Cheers Tony

Kempsey trailers have a good one for $4000 - you pay $1500 I think as a down payment and then a weekly amount over 18 months with no interest. No tricky finance arrangements - they just let you pay it off in little bits.

It was so good I almost bought one myself... :angel:

I should be looking at a plant trailer that will do both. Will be more expensive to rego with higher GCM:(

[Outlaw]

good thinking... so what dictates the age of a trailer ;)

[Shonky]

I only looked at it from a moving shorties around perspective. I think they do the same deal with their plant trailers?

Good thinking 99... That may work for you. How will I exlain the small backhoe on a club trip:angel:

easy , the backhoe is there is move big rocks and , stragically dig out the Wombat Holes and create some exciting obstacles for the Club memebers to practice their 4x4 skills.:p

[Lotz-A-Landies]

good thinking... so what dictates the age of a trailer ;)Date of first registration or a date stamp on the manufacturers plate.
