GREAT Alternative Trailer Option - The Piggybacker XL

[1buddyc]

DC- Sorry pal but all the Goodies are boxed up and in the Trailer. And wait til you see what I got to haul our stuff...an inexpensive alternative to an original Prowler Trailer and Weekender style boxes. Total investment is about $855.00 delivered to my door and about 3 hours of bolt-together assembly. I'll post a pic of my rig Tomorrow before we head out..

Buddy: Nice! Will u paint it red? :tu:

[1buddyc]

DC, I was thinking about doing just that...but ran out of time. Maybe I'll just paint the bottom and fenders Red and leave the top Black...Kind of depends on what I do with the other Prowler!

That was my thoughts after looking at the first photo. I think leaving the top black would look really cool on this trailer. Sharp! :tu:

That looks super Buddy, is that an ice chest on the front of the trailer?

Wonder if those little tires can keep up with the 20's and not get tired.

Have a safe trip.

Buddy,

That looks great and the price is:tu:.

Well, the Little Trailer worked just fine. Ran into some rain in Dallas yesterday and it even is water tight. Couldnt even tell it was back there and could hardly see the top of it in the rear view. Today, on the drive from North of Dalllas to Tulsa, I hit 90 mph a few time and it still towed perfectly. And Curtis, yes thats a little ice chest that sits in a basket on the tongue. Works Great! I think I will have to do some painting on it though when I get home....Just too much black now.

Buddy: Good to hear it worked out well! It even has a spare wheel! Is the trailer fiberglass?

[1buddyc]

Hey DC. Yes it even came with a spare wheel and tire, a pair of extra latching clips and an extra set of wheel bearings. Some people mount the Spare on the Tongue, I chose the back cause it helps to keep the tongue weight light and seems to help with the balance of the trailer. You would be surprised at how much junk it carries...Took me 3 strips to get everything to the Room! No, its not made of Fiberglass, it is some sort of rigid plastic. I think it is the same stuff they make those carriers out of, that mount to Car's Roofs.

Boy Buddy, Great Price! Whats the website address of the place you bought it from?

Hi Scott..I cant remember exactly but I got it off an eBay store. Go to eBay and type in "piggybacker XL"and it should pull it up. If you cant find it, remind me in a week and I'll look it up when I get home from Tulsa. The place sells a smaller version for $595.00 but I felt it was too small. When I got interested in it, I called the phone number listed in the Ad and the guy's wife answered the phone, she was on the way to a Kid's soccer game. This was on a Friday evening, said she would have her Husband email me info on Monday which he did. I am really satisfied with the product. The only problem I had with it was when I went to grease both wheel bearings (recommended in the Manual) I broke off both of the zerk fittings when disconnecting my grease gun and had to replace them.

That's very cheap shipping for a large item! Thanks for the info Buddy! If we had the garage space, I would jump on it right away...no need to repaint for the Black kat :mrgreen:

Scott: If you get this, u will have to paint the bottom silver no? ;-)

Buddy - seen your trailer at Tulsa,,,,,,,,,good idea, and the price was right. :tu:

Damn,,,,,I only got to speak with you for three minutes in Tulsa,,,and then didn't see you again. Did you depart early? I was going to ask you questions about the gas tank replacement,,,,,I'm still having problems, but the orange cat goes into service department tomorrow morning.

Hi AC, no we didnt leave until Monday but there was so much going on it was hard to spend time with everybody. I wish there would have been more time to get together with old friends too.. We did meet a lot of new folks though and had a Really Great Time!
