Considering new trailer.

I am considering this.



The only info I have is a picture of the decal near my TV hitch. Can I tow it safely?

Too many geezers, self appointed moderators, experts, and disappearing posts for me. Enjoy. How many times can the same thing be rehashed over and over?

I am now trying to find 14K lb spring bars for a Reese round bar hitch I had from a previous rig.

I am also curious as to why I cant tie down my inflatable kayak to the hitch?


If you find 14k bars for your hitch you will go from towing to lifting with that little trailer, lifting is out according to the decal. Sorry you're out of luck. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I have a feeling the OP may be teasing us all. But, just in case he's not, .... yes, you can tow that trailer safely ... As stated above, a riding lawn mower will tow it just fine!


FYI, I use to use my riding lawn mower to tow my Pop-up camper around the yard and drive way all the time. Worked wonderful. I still use my John Deere 135 to tow my utility trailer around the yard. The camper in your picture looked bigger than my utility trailer!

Because a lot of people on RV.net will tell you if it says you can't do it on a label you better not do it! And if you ever get pulled over and a cop sees that label you might go to a big boys time out for 10 to 15 years!
