[Shop-talk] trailer advice needed

[Skip Albright]

1500 pounds doesn't seem like much for a car,

but added to a trailer it will be over a ton, dragging and pushing behind you.

you will be happy to have brakes on the trailer,  your state may even 
require them, the kind with the master cylinder on the tongue 
are  nice, but electric ones work too.

  get real size tires; 14's or even  better 15's

buy a spare wheel and  tire.

If you get a used one, replace all the lighting and wires, unless 
they are perfect,

and most important : NEVER  have  your wife direct you, while you back up.
