Tip: Use Craig’s List for a Cheap Trailer

8 04 2009

You never know where you will find a trailer for your new tear drop.  A site that you are sure to use to scrounge up a good deal on a trailer is Craig’s List.  Personally I don’t like checking everyday to see if there is something new  posted to the site.  Fortunately Craig’s List provides an easy way to keep track of what is new in your area.

When you browse a category or do a search on Craig’s List there will be a RSS link.  You can use this link to add the newest listings to a RSS reader.  Some email programs provide allow you to RSS feeds to them like a new email box so everytime you check your email you will also check the newest listings.  If you use a start up page like iGoogle, Yahoo, or Netvibes they will allow you to add a new section for your Craig’s List RSS feed.  So anytime you start up your browser or check out your start page you don’t have to do anything extra to see that trailer just waiting for you.

This weekend we found out that the Trailer that we planned on using is no longer available.  Well its still available but the trailer is no longer being shipped and with a 14 hour drive picking it up is not a question.  We were going to use the Red Trailer 5×10 but will go with a 5×8 from Northern Tool.  So it was back to AutoCad to figure out how to take out 2 feet from the design.

Since starting the design I have been looking around to see if there are any better methods since the last go around.  I did find a nice video on Youtube that has a build from start to finish.
