This is the basic trailer package I'm looking to buy/order in late summer or fall. I need to add air conditioning & would like to have a small refrigerator/freezer added. I'm up in the air about adding an awning, Las Vegas winds. Is there anything else you think I should have added to the trailer. I will be paying cash for the trailer & wanting to keep cost @ 36K.

It will be hauling 68 or 80 Camaro around 3,000 lbs. A pit scooter/quad, tools, spare parts & spare trans. The trailer will mainly be used around the surrounding states of NV. & 1 trip cross country a year. Let me know what you think within the budget.

I forgot to add, I stay at the track 2 - 4 days at a time & a little longer for the big races.

For that budget, have you looked at a Vintage or Bravo, they are both better trailers. And get the awning too it won't be windy all the time and shade is nice.

I have looked at Vintage, but not Bravo. They are both back East, at least Vintage. Then you have the cost of picking up or having it delivered. Vintage was my 1st choice, but about 1-2K more expensive for the similar model. Add the additional items & picking up/delivered, the budget is gone.

Vegas is our home track, we have wind more often than not. We park the trailer to use it as shade.

In my opinion skip the built in fridge, unless you are going for the propane version. I would look at the Dometic Fridge/Freezers that either use 12V or 110V. They are portable and have more capacity.

I haven't researched the fridge too much. I would like to have it on propane, 12v & 110v. I think it's called a 2 or 3 way set-up?

That is a 3 Way RV fridge. If you need the propane, that is the only way to go.

That sounds like the way I want to go. Now I have to see if Haulmark does that when building the trailer.

I forgot to add: I'm going with an Onan portable 4500 generator with a slide out, cost $1100. I want to add a fold down couch/bed, hopefully can find space to use it while on the road travelling. Plus, plan on all the Pit Pal accessories; I like the (4) 5 gal. stacked jug rack. Starting to cut into that $36K budget.

I need to call Haulmark & ask about the fridge option, if they have it. It's not a deal killer, but a nicety I would like to have.

I'm not sure if Haulmark is still the same but, when I bought my trailer back in 04 they sent it out to a different company (or subsidiary) to get the lounge built.
The fridge wouldn't be that complicated to install. DIY.. In fact I had mine built with just a closet and I installed the bathroom myself.

I just don't have the time or motivation to do that type of work myself. I don't mind paying $$$ to have the major stuff done. The minor stuff, like Pit Pal accessories will be DIY.

Understood.. I'm getting to where I'm unable to do a lot of stuff I used to not even think of..

I'm finally to the point of putting a deposit down on the trailer in next couple of weeks. Today we worked out the final details of the trailer (Phil's Trailer Sales, TX.) & need to get it in writing. Total package will be around 37K.

Got the call from Phil's Trailer, our trailer is ready for pick-up. Looks like my Son & I are taking a road trip to Tx. mid Apr.

Make sure it comes with spare tire. One of my friends just bought from them and they got home no spare tire and wanted $350 for one.

I plan on buying one similar to yours but after his experience I will be buying from a different dealer. He had many problems with them.

I ordered a matching spare. Hope I don't have any problems with them.

I certainly hope you do not have any problems with them.

As for your new trailer sounds just like what I am planning on buying later this year. Right now I am building a 60' x 100'shop insulated and air conditioned and 16' x 100 covered carport for truck and trailer. So I am very busy and most of my money is tied up to.
My plan is similar to yours, with a bathroom package and couple fold out cots can comfortably stay over night if needed. And it is not the hassle and size of motorhome etc.

Your trailer sounds really nice, please keep us informed on it and I would like to see pictures after you get it.

Devils in the details, we are running into some minor issues already. Hopefully it doesn't get worse. Phil's is blaming Haulmark & I would bet Haulmark is blaming Phil's.

Sounds like a nice set-up for a broke dyck, I had too. Wouldn't mind seeing the finished product. You building it or having it done?

Lol, I think it will be nice and fit my needs. Having it built, The location is up on a hill with a good view. I bought 3 acres from a friend who owns 197 acres and my property is surrounded by his property. Him and his son both are some of better racers in the Country. The floors will be epoxy coated and the walls are 16' high for plenty of shelving and storage space. Have 80 feet of shelving and I will do the bottom shelf about 7 feet high and under each one will be lighted work spaces. Each one set up for what ever such as clean areas and one for drilling, grinding, polishing etc, one for my Reloading stuff. I will have a four post lift and will keep the 67 Camaro and my 67 Corvette on that to save floor space.
The living quarters is only 1175 sq ft with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
I also have two of the tall 40 Storage containers that are on the side of the car port. one will be used for storage and the other partitioned off and used for painting/sandblasting. I told the contractor on the lighting of the shop I wanted it well light up with LED lights. He did all his calculations for lighting and then I told him double those lights.
Will also be doing some solar power once I get a few electric bills in to determine exactly what size system I need.
One other cool thing from the street you can not see anything but my gate and road. It goes 330 feet along tree line then goes to left for another 400 feet. Hope to be complete and moved in 30 days, already over budget but paying cash for it and it has taken longer than I wanted but it is what it is.

After it is all done I want a trailer just like B King!

LOL! To the last sentence.

Good on you Curly, cash is king!
