Re: Educate me on Trailers

We rent a 6'x10'x 70" enclosed trailer for $28 Day. Rear ramp and side door, inside lights, lockable, inside tie downs, single axle. That's plenty of space to carry 2-3 robots and over 8-12 crates of gear and 15 batteries. We do 2-3 short travel, over night events per year which require the trailer. I've been talking to the guy who rents it to us and he may just sponsor us and let us use it. The rental place takes care of the maintenance and storage. The rental yard is close by. We pull the trailer with a V8 SUV and pack it with 4 students and a driver.

It's hard to beat that price and the convenience of renting. The rental place even has GPS locating devices if theft is a issue.
