friday night i called the neighbour and asked if he wanted to go sledding with a group of us, he had bummed his wrist and had to say no. so i asked if his son wanted to come along anyways {my kids bud} and of course the kid said yes, the neighbour said "take my trailer" and i thought okay if you say so. it is a triton aluminum covered in, we hooked up and the first words out of the good neighbours mouth were this thing pulls like a pig. so back to my house and loaded the last sled, so now i have 3 sleds 1 in the truck and 2 in the trailer. so on down the road we go, "the trailer" if it pulls like a pig i am thinking a new born pig maybe ? pulled nice i am impressed way beyond my previous thoughts of these trailers, i think the trailer looks goofy and thought it would pull the same way but i stand corrected.
we get to our destination, unclip the skies, tip the trailer and the sleds {i guess with the ski guides} roll right off the trailer like puppies running for kids. i'm thinking this is too nice where is the pay back ? we ride and return, load the sleds, clip the the skies and disappear. now normally when i load or unload i have with me an old coat, gloves and hat so i do not dirty my riding wear. but i could have loaded and unloaded this trailer in a 3 piece suit then went to church.
when we get home from a trip the son and i normally go through the ritual of rinsing the sled covers then hanging them too dry. then out with the bucket and wash the sleds into the barn and spray the metal parts that were covered in salt with wd40. after this trip the sleds were just as clean as when we started, this is too nice.
now for the next trip i don't want to go without a covered trailer. i have seen those plastic single sled covers will those fit a normal trailer ? can i get some type of cover and use it on my current trailer ?
the BAD MISTAKE is that i used his trailer and could have used mine, now mine is not good enough.
