Without the proper amount of tongue weight it will be very difficult to pull with a pick up, been there done that


If the tongue weight is too light the tail will wag the dog especially during braking! The more the trailer weighs relative to the tow vehicle the worse it gets!

If this ever happens to you release the tow vehicle's brakes and just use the trailer's brakes,,, assuming you got time to do so!!

Looks great! What do you do with the Generator when you have both cars in?

Vern, I could use a 2" strap but the 1" straps used to tie down the golf cart, scooter and generator didn't loosen up at all.

My golf cart is in the back. I added an aluminum 1/4 inch thick strap with holes in it and bolted it to where the hitch on the cart would be. A couple of ratchet straps to the floor d-rings stopped any movement.

Vern, even without a tie down strap, my golf cart can't move with the front tires against the road side wall and foot board of the flip/flop seat just clear of the barn doors.

I actually bought Pit Posse oil can holders and the quality seems comparable to Pitpal at a 25% or so discount. That being said, my buddy has dual fuel jug PP holders that he stacked like your pic with no problems, mounted to the wall. I am in the same boat and will be doing something similar.

Is that a dolly to pickup the front of the dragster on the wall? If so why not just raise the front of the trailer and drive it in?

yes and I do. Purchased for previous trailer but still use it to tuck the nose of the dragster in tighter to the roadside wall.
