Default Wells Cargo type of trailer help?


"Gunner" wrote in message
...
Ive got the opportunity to trade some labor for a covered Wells Cargo
type of trailer, in decent shape, about 5x8 feet. Last tagged in
Florida , plates expired 12/01.

Purchased off Ebay in 2001, brought to Arizona, where it has sat since
then holding rolls of old insulation....

Id like to use it for a work trailer...holding electrical Stuff,
Plumbing supplies etc on job sites etc

Well made, light enough to pull behind the Ford Ranger

The big problem is its only 8' deep. Not long enough to hold a joint
of conduit..something I really need to keep in it on job sites.

Anyone have any practical ideas about conduit storage Under the
trailer? Id like to be able to keep 100' of 3/4" and 1" (or more)
each safe and secure, without it getting nasty and rusty.

My big E350 van does a pretty good job of carrying everything I need
on job sites..but at $4+ a gallon for gas now days...I hate to fire it
up very much..seems that this covered trailer would be the ticket

Anyone living in Arizona know the procedure for getting a "trip
ticket" for a trailer so I can haul it back to California?

I "could" haul my flatbed to Aridzona and haul the trailer back on
it....cringe.....but a 850 mile round trip with first one..then two
trailers is gonna eat into the wallet really bad....

Gunner,
California issues a trip ticket for $10. (3 years ago). You validate it
yourself by filling in the date on the first day that you use it. I know
many contractors that keep a dozen of these in their glove box instead of
paying for tags on their trailers, backhoes etc. When I brought a vehicle
up to Oregon I checked with Oregon DMV and they honored the California trip
tickets. A year later, on my Oregon to California return trip with the
truck, I again used a CA trip ticket. Cheaper than licensing the truck.
