New trailer- Show & tell

[DDT]

I sold my 02 H&H 22' GN and got my new PJ 28' trailer I went with spring assist flip over ramps with lock up option, center pop up dovetail, big tool box under GN, dual drop leg jacks.

Nice looking trailer. Is it sitting down a little on the pin? Most GN trailers I have been around have a adjustment.

How much does it weigh? how much does it cost? I want one BAD!

 

[DDT]

It does have adjustment but its about right, on level ground the trailer is very close to level.
According to the title empty wiehgt 5840 lbs with a 15,680 lbs GVWR. Oh I also got a rear recever hitch with it to, I had to weld one on the last trailer. 6100.00 I found a good but I think.
I can flip the ramps over with one hand (both ways) My back will not miss lugging those 90 lbs ramps around.
I will keep all my chains/ bommers and straps in the trailer tool box and get a lot more room in the truck tool box for other needed stuff.

Thats what i been looking at, the PJ's, the one i want is the 27+5, with duall tandum's, and the place here in houston gave me a price of 7300, thats with a spare, and without the pop up like you got. Not sure if i would use the pop up much.

DDT,

That is a great looking rig, congratulations!

I have a stupid question: I saw the receiver option on the PJ web site but can't figure out what it is used for.

Could you enlighten me?

To tandem pull. I have pulled a Jetski many of times behind my boat and my neighbor 2 doors down pulls his 38'th wheel and a 21' ski boat in tandem all the time behind a Dodge Cummins.

Nice trailer. I have a PJ 16' tandem bumper pull. They are very well made trailers.

As Diamondpilot said the option is to allow you to tow another trailer behind the first one. Just be aware this is not legal in all states. Check your local DMV laws re: double trailers.

That and the first trailer should be a GN or 5th wheel type or ya could get fish tailing.

I have double pulled many of times with bumper pull trailers as the first one. Never had a issue but to be fair the heaviest second trailer was under 3,000# and most were in the 2,000# range.

OK, got it. I've seen people do that before, usually a boat behind an RV trailer. That sounds like it would be a real adventure. DDT, what would you be pulling behind your flatbed?

Would love to see a picture of the double-tow rig.

I used to have a bumper hitch dump trailer and pulled it behind the old GN flat bed for one trip to jobs and also used a small trailer to haul equipment for one trip to job site. With a longer trailer hopefully I will not have to use it but for $50 why not have it on there. I have been told (here) as long as the 2nd trailer has brakes I can leagly pull doubles, never had been stopped for it...yet.

Double pull is legal in Kansas according to my book. The only stipulation it list is the total length of both trailers and truck can not exceed 65'. No mention of brakes period or a brake-away. It says N/A for both. The only other state I can think of around here that does not require brakes is Kentucky.

Again, this is just in my book so check the local laws for yourself.

In the peoples republic of New York, If the Polizi ever saw you pulling around anything behind your trailer,You would probably have all your property confiscated.

The word in the RV world is that if it is legal where registered, it's legal wherever you go. I can't speak for how valid that is or is not for doubles.

I do know that IS true for things like trailer brakes. If not required where it is registered, you are good wherever you go, even if they would be required under their laws.

Yes, you are right. I just checked my book for NY and its one of the few states that does not allow double pull. One more reason for me to stay away...
