I bought this trailer from Craigs List for $300. I sand blasted the surface rust, treated it with Rust-oleum, primed and painted it. I added 2 ft. rails all the way around. I Installed LED tail lights, trailer jack, and heavy-duty logging safety chains. Painted with gloss black oil-based, enamel paint. Applied red/silver reflective tape and amber marker lights. I also have a dual receiver hitch which mounts the 10,000 lb. winch (from Harbor Freight) and the trailer at the same time. I have about $650 invested and the trailer should be valued at approx. $1,300. All tools are from Harbor Freight.

We were featured in Utah. We once again simply ask…how much more do we need to prove?
Drivers pulling trailers are responsible for thousands of accidents in Utah
Drivers pulling trailers are responsible for thousands of accidents in Utah
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) Utah Highway Patrol has finished its investigation and submitted its findings surrounding an injury accident on I-15 in Spanish Fork. It’s now up to prosecutors to decide what to do about the owner of a boat and trailer that came unhitched on the interstate and slammed into two cars. Sadly, six people were injured. Fortunately no one was killed.
However, that isn’t always the case when it comes to trailer accidents. “Since 1975 15,523 people have been killed by passenger cars that tow trailers.” Ron Melancon should know, he is an expert on trailer accidents. His incredibly indepth website – www.dangeroustrailers.org is filled with pictures, stories and data. Over the past eight years – since his own run in with a trailer without tail lights he has been studying the issue and fighting for and passing legislation in his home state of Virginia. “Since 1988 – 490 thousand people, including the six who were just injured in Utah, have been caused by people towing a trailer.”
Melancon says there are three major issues that have caused the nearly 900 thousand trailer accidents we’ve seen in the U.S. in the past 13 years. First, drivers pull trailers without training – let’s face it – its not taught in drivers education. Melancon says it is so easy to loose control of a trailer and there should be training before someone pulls a heavy load. Plus, he believes about 40-45 percent of trailers are not hooked up correctly and don’t even use safety chains.
Second, Melancon says trailers themselves can often be unsafe. “These trailers are exposed 24/7 to the elements. They sit in the rain, they get snowed on and get salt on them and never get inspected.”
And he says, too many drivers think safety chains will prevent a trailer from getting away from them and prevent an accident. “I have engineers who have reported to me that the safety chains often snap.” He pointed me to a video that shows that happen.
And the trailer safety advocate explains, “Just the simple snapping of a safety chain has enough force to overturn a 4,000 pound pick up truck.”
Melancon believes someone needs to check the safety of a trailer before it carries things out on the interstate. “No one in state government verifies if your contraption can go 65 miles per hour safely.”
And he says there needs to be more testing of safety chains, tougher trailer laws and a nationwide standards for both.
Sadly, Utah is not immune to problems. Since 1975 – 112 people have been killed here in trailer related accidents and since 1988 – 3,400 have been injured in trailer related accidents.

Please see link…http://www.wgem.com/global/story.asp?s=11752652
Dangerous Trailers .org has been giving warnings and information on this exact type of accident. This accident did not have to happen… USA today was going to run a story on these types of accidents yet someone told them to stop…why….the police are powerless to even pull these homemade trailers over because they have nothing..on the books..
his is simply not right. Please go to www.dangeroustrailers.org.
Please ask yourself…this could have happened to each and every one of you.
Where is our Government? Where is the Insurance Industry? I have the answer..they have been bought off by the “Utility Trailer Industry”
Why don’t we have any standards on these trailers? They are using “Voluntary Standards”
Why don’t we require training on how to tow?
Why do we have 8 states that do not require Safety Chains?
Why did this accident happen?
Also please note..that this trailer was a “Homemade” trailer…yes..anybody can build one..with no clue what they are doing.
Now ask yourself this question…
Here’s a little project for you. The next time you’re out and about take notice of the countless numbers of trailers being hauled daily on our roadways. Look closely and you’ll see that many are improperly attached to the tow vehicle, don’t have working lights, safety chains and are unacceptably maintained. Then ask yourself, why am I riding behind or next to this person trying to kill or injury me or my family?
