So I retired and sold my business in January. I decided with all my new found time if I want to go any long distances with my car I needed a good trailer. This is a Triton all aluminum tilt 7x12 it weighs 745 empty with a 2995 gvwr. as you can see the mini fits perfectly on it.
I'm working on getting some custom tie downs from Mac's Custom Tie Downs, stay tuned on that.
Very nice! Perfect for a mini. What is the ramp situation?
Looks like a tilt bed?
Are you planning to go to MME in Asheville this June? Car looks fab!
Congrats on your "retirement"?
Your Mini looks good on that trailer!
Hope you are enjoying your retirement.
So answers to the questions; it's a tilt bed, however I have a couple of wedge ramps that prevent the bed from tilting too much or it hits the front license plate driving up.
I won't make Ashville this year, my wife already had a trip planned around that time. I have a tentative plan to go up to Stowe, VT for the British Invasion it's a 5 hour drive so it should be perfect for that.
The retirement thing is pretty good so far, I'm liking the "every day is Saturday" thing. I owned my bike shop for forty years and four months, I believe I only missed working on Saturday a dozen times, lots of projects to finish....
Thinking about adding an electric winch or anything in case you're broke down and can't simply drive it on?
Looks good George.

I thought about that. I have an "Armstrong" winch that I usually carry in the truck so I could use that, it "only" takes 10-15 minutes to move something 6'.....

I bought it just down the road from you Andy, sort of a sight unseen buy, it was buried under a foot of snow until I picked it up.
My electric winch has been put to use countless times. Also I don't even drive the car onto my trailer anymore. Use the winch to pull it nice and easy, checking ramps as I go, rather than revving and slipping the clutch to get up and on the thing. I've never used a tilt bed before so not sure if or any challenges it has.
