You must have got a Wilson trailer. Wish I could help but buried in snow.I would guess well over a foot of snow here. I will be lucky to get my truck out by end of week, park my truck at farmer friends place. A balmy 5 degrees out this morning.

Update on snow. Heard on TV we had 17 inches of snow. That's a lot for us Kansas boys. You northern guys probably don't think that's much.
-
No, they don't really. Here's my motorcycle in the snow 20 miles from the canadian border. Did I mention that there's a trailer under it?
This was before it started snowing again and brought it up to the door handles.
wheathauler Thanks this. -
We have well over a foot of snow it is still snowing and 6 degrees but feels like -50 degrees out side. Just west of us they reported 16".
I have my Pete parked in the shop because I have been getting the truck stripped down so it is nice and warm.
No Wilson trailer just from the Wilson dealer. A good used trailer is hard to come by for what I was wanting to spend. I bought that 03' Timpte that is identical to yours and It belong to a farmer and was well taken care of. I stayed away from the lease purchase and rental places and the trailers I seen down here was way over priced for a 4 - 5 year old trailer you might as well buy new. Didn't need one with super singles and a lighted bull wagon sign on the front of the trailer. lol
I have a friend that buys his hoppers from Dodge and when we hauled cows we bought our trailers from their also and always had good service and they still do business with a hand shake. They are going to put a new tarp on it for me because it has some bad places on the ends and some new bows along with a set of tarp saver cords.
Have my insurance just working on the authority. -
You better trade that motorcycle in for a snow mobile, they would be a lot funner then a motorcycle right know. What kind of scooter do you have kajidono? I have a 03' 100th Anniversary black and silver HD Heritage Softail.

Big John, you going to use your pete with the hopper? Since you said you were stripping it down I wondered.

That was a 2000 Yamaha vstar that I sold a while back. It looked nice but it wasn't comfortable and wasn't geared to run on the highway. I rode it from KC to Baltimore, then up to northern NY and I could barely stay on it for 40 minutes at a time without some serious pain.
I finally got my dad to sell me the bike he had when we were kids. It's a 1981(?) Kawasaki 440LTD with some tuning done on the carbs. Still not great for cross country riding but more fun to ride.

Nice bikes kajidono.
WH, I bought a 2001 KW T800, 233wb, ISX 475, 10spd, 62" aerocab flattop. Factory dry weight is 16k and has 90 gallon tanks. It is fun to drive and will turn on a dime.wheathauler Thanks this. -
What is that a 650 V-Star? You are tuffer then I am if you road it from KC to New York.
-
Here is the trailer and truck I bought. 03' Timpte 42x96x66.
