Wow, 450 bucks to wire it up? That sounds a little steep. Back when Classic built my trailer they charged me 300 bucks to wire the backup camera. That was 2007 though.

on a related note, the golf cart was on board yesterday as well and I had piece of mind...
It took less than a minute to remove the battery with a 1/2" wrench and a 1/2" socket.
Don't be stupid!

Nice white trailer stupid...your paranoid self will get the best of you as the golf cart riding in the front of the trailer is the least abusive and less bouncing than anywhere else loaded in the trailer.
Anyhow, it surely is a nice white trailer that was we'll planned and thought out. Came out great IMO.

If I try to go to US13 Dragway in Delaware and cross the Bay bridge, 4 axle is $12 and $24 for triple!! I don't know how other states are, but if you head south on 95 be prepared passing through this state!! There are ways around but you got to know them. Enjoy your new Trailer, well done!
Try going over the GW bridge with a dually and a triple axle trailer. $80

SHARP!! Why do trailer manufactures put axles so far forward? Why do you need a thousand pounds of tongue weight?

I meant so far back not forward, WOOPS

I see your cart at least has a battery hold down, mine doesn't!
I also don't get why these things look like they were wired by a three year old. They don't seem concerned with the way things look, as long as they work.

Ed, what did the trailer weigh loaded and what was the tongue weight loaded?
June 06, 2017, 11:00 AM

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