The problem is that when 0% APR stops it often jumps up to over 20%. You have a window of time when you can use it and it is the easiest way to order things online.

When you use a credit card and pay on time, your credit rating will improve and you may start getting offers from other "card dealers". You can then turn over what you owe on the first card before the APR changes to a new card. I have done this before but don't recommend it.

Just buy what you can afford on a monthly basis AND PAY IT OFF EVERY BILLING. Use the card to improve your credit rating...even groceries and local stuff.

It is okay to use their services...but don't pay for it with disgusting APRs.

He's got serious priors or asking for far more coverage than necessary. (my guess only and none of my business)

[replyingto=puttputt]puttputt[/replyingto]Okay Scooters,

I found what I want but I don't know the price yet.

THE ERRAND BOY

2-12" wheels
It will work on a 2 or 3 wheeler because it has a swivel hitch
(no extra lean weight on 2 wheels)
torsion axles
15.4 cubic feet (or 8.6 if you want)
34" or 26" overall width for smaller one.
75LBS....YES

www.mizermw.com/errandboy.htm

I hope it's not a million dollars. LET'S DO A GROUP PURCHASE?

Jefdec...that would work but I don't know if I cann get it licenced in Florida. 50mph?

Fido64...That is my second option listed in the original message. I'm a little concerned about the 144lbs weight. Anyone have one?

I want a trailer for small trips and shopping. This is about $325 and weighs less than 134lbs. What do you think?

-----Harbor Freight Trailer $182.99 (less than 100lbs)

www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/trailer-accessories/870-lb-capacity-40-inch-x-49-inch-heavy-duty-utility-trailer-with-8-inch-wheels-and-tires-42708.html

Change inside width from 40" to 24" (maybe 22")
Change inside length from 49" to 36" (maybe 30")
Change Axle length accordingly
Move axle forward for proper balance
Use single springs for less weight

Contico Pro Tuff Bin $59.98 (28.5lbs)

www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=91573-230-L3725-4&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3734569&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1

Mount sideways with U-bolts opening on passenger side

Igloo 25 quart Marine Cooler $37.23 (5.3lbs)

www.walmart.com/ip/Igloo-Marine-25-Quart-Cooler/16437962

Mount on tongue

LED Trailer Light Kit $39.99

www.harborfreight.com/led-trailer-light-kit-95974.html

Another option is just buy the Harbor Freight Tag-Along and the cooler. $410 + cooler $38 + LED $40 = $488 (150lbs). Anybody have one?

www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/trailer-accessories/600-lb-capacity-78-inch-tag-along-trailer-66771.html

I am worried about the weight and width (150cc) so the first option is maybe better in that regard.

COMMENTS PLEASE

Enough said.

I can see the axle nuts and cotter pins and want to cover them.

I have the Ice Bear PST150-8 and it came without dust covers for the rear wheels.

Are the bearings sealed? If not, would it make sense to add bearing buddies used on boat trailers.

What is a good source for dust covers?

Thanks....
