Re: Educate me on Trailers

Be sure you really, really want a trailer. Our second or third year we were able to use a 6' x 12' trailer that the school had. On paper it seemed perfect. In reality we found that it created more problems than it solved, especially at the Pittsburgh Regional. Towing it up and down hills on narrow, crowded one-way streets was a challenge, and parking it got very expensive (we were charged as if it were two cars). It's also a bigger target for theft since folks [correctly] assume it's filled with tools.

Since that initial experience we've gone back to hauling everything in school vans. It's probably not an issue except in certain cities.
