The Florida Express


Well these are the first pictures of my new enclosed car hauler.  I have for the most part retired from transporting the classics.  My wife is retired now and she doesn't like me gone on the road alone for a week or two at a time.  I have decided to keep a trailer in Florida all the time and drive my truck down and back with just my personal hauler and a car to drive while in Florida, Jan.-April.  I still have my dually hauler but it will go up for sale in the spring.
I ordered what I hope is the best trailer I could afford to take the Acadian, this year, down to Ft. Myers.  It is 23' long with a 3' V nose, steel construction as I couldn't afford aluminum.  I opt'd for the screwless exterior, .040 guage siding, 5200# axles and dual brakes.  The extra's were some "E" track in the front V, a 12 volt tongue jack, aluminum wheels, 48" side door, dove tail, D rings, weather proof floor, finished ceiling, loading lights in the rear and all LED lighting, even the running lights are small LED units.
So, here is a picture of the Florida express ready to load up the car.  I still have a wind deflector to mount on the rear of my car in hopes of improving mpg just a little.
We will be gone shortly after the New Year and return about May 1, 2011.
Enjoy the winter guys and drive safe.2011UnitedTrailer003.jpg

Sorry to say it has been cold (for Florida) so far this winter, but certainly warmer than up there, eh?

Welcome back!
