Trailer/Hauler (Callaway) Anyone have experience w/ these?

[*89x2*]

..well, after much thought, I contacted the seller on the red Dodge above - the price had been dropped to $24,900 and of course it had SOLD by the time I got to being serious about it :eek


I had a chance to drive one though - a Chevy w/ a 454 - with a Corvette loaded on the back, it ran / rode so smooth! :cool Like there wasn't even a car piggybacking


I think that if another one like the Dodge comes avail., I will be faster to react :cool

...somewhat interesting - I saw a similar one w/ a Morgan body at FOW (Ferrari dealer) when checking out their Ferrari haulers -

Thought it might be worth a mention here

It looks like it would work well!
Should be easyer to get in and out of car in the box.
To bad you would need a CDL to drive it!

John, could the CDL not be required if it was a "not for hire" carrier??


I drive trucks up to 26k lbs w/ out isue - however, laws vary state to state :cool


Thanks

Any truck Over 26000 lbs GVW; you would need a CDL, unless you can get it registered as an RV.

I had some hauling experiences this past weekend - Some have asked if a C6 will fit one of these...

Will it fit?? I have seen elsewhere where folks claimed it would not - they are wrong! :crazy

For $50.00/day, you can rent a U Haul for a local rental (local rentals = pickup and return to the same store) and load your C6 right on, and haul away

It helps to have a second person, as the C6 is much "tighter" than my C4's ever were hnoes While I am not sure about a new Z06, the base C6 fots just fine, with plenty of room to spare


When loading/unloading, I did find it best to load "into an incline" to lessen the degree of the ramps. Also, I used two small "helper" ramps to lessen the angle a bit. Backing to your curb would do the same thing :cool

I hope this helps

I DON'T THINK MY C16 WOULD FIT!
THE REAR TIRES WOULD RUB!

Hmmm. The add says "1984 Peterbilt toy hauler, like new. Has a 440 cummings engine with only 700 miles. 10 speed road ranger. 28 foot box. Trailer has lift and a wench."

It also says "Sleeper has new mattress." For the wench, no doubt.

Yeah, not too sure about the wench hnoes


It would be neat if that truck could haul two Corvettes in the back. With just the capacity for one, it is not quite as practical as it could be for such a large truck. Looks to be in great shape - if you are out of garage space, it would be ideal for hauling and storage both

If you're going to go to that much expense to build something like this, why would you leave it open?

Jon, I agree - you know that this was NOT cheap to build :eek

Some of these Class 8 rigs, are in excess of 400k :W new

Sorry, but that's the stupidest thing I ever saw. Lets park overnight at the Holiday Inn with our race car, extra rims, tools, etc. " handy "
