Keep Your Investment Safe with a Car Trailer

Do you have big plans to take your classic car to a show this weekend? Instead of waiting to display it at the show, consider exhibiting it the whole trip with a custom car trailer. Imagine the looks your car would get from people driving by! With a car trailer you wouldn’t need to worry about putting more mileage on the odometer or causing any damage on the journey.


Keep Your Car in Pristine Condition

Driving your classic car every day can make an impact on its condition. Besides the obvious accidents that could cause damage, everyday driving can cause wear and tear on your vehicle. Think about how much safer your car will be on display in a car trailer on the way to the show, maintaining the car’s condition for much longer.

Avoid Potential Disasters

Just think of all the incidents that could happen while driving your car to the show instead of keeping it in a trailer. A rock displaced by a passing dumptruck could cause a scratch or crack in the window. A nail from a construction zone could mean for a very expensive tire replacement. And of course, an accident caused by an inattentive driver could completely destroy all of the work you’ve put into restoring your beautiful classic car. Don’t risk losing your investment by driving your car and putting it in harm’s way.


Design Your Own Car Trailer

Not only will a car trailer protect your precious vehicle, it can be custom designed to the specifications you need. A ramp to load the vehicle is important, however, many other features can be added. Imagine if people could see your car without even taking it out of the trailer. Custom Trailers USA can install a glass side for you with a raised floor and your car will attract attention no matter if it’s in the showroom or on the road. Clear glass-side trailers can be built from 12′ to 53′ in length.


Advertising on the go and at the show is just as important as promoting your car. Custom Trailers USA can help you design graphics for the outside of your trailer to promote your brand and your business. No matter what you are trying to communicate to others, it can be advertised via your trailer.


While displaying your car and advertising are important aspects to owning a car trailer, safety always be considered. Before heading out on the road with your precious cargo, ensure that the towing vehicle is set up correctly and the tire pressure in the trailer is appropriate. Make sure you know your etiquette for towing a vehicle and have the right hitch to get the towing done.


Keep Safety a Priority

While driving with your custom car trailer, it’s important to ensure you are using lower gears, observing all speed limits and breaking intermittently when on a descending grade. Use your trailer mirrors and let others pass if necessary. Don’t forget to allow extra room for stopping and when following other vehicles. By following all these safety precautions you can ensure you and your precious cargo will arrive at your destination safely. Protect your investment.

Learning About Trailer Components

In order to carry your merchandise in the custom kitchen trailer, it’s important to understand all the parts of the trailer. Below, you will find a description of the main components.

Connecting Towing Vehicle to Towed Vehicle

The kitchen trailer is towed by another vehicle. The part that allows the two to be connected is called a hitch. Although there are several varieties of hitches, the two most common types are the receiver style hitch and the fixed tongue hitch. The receiver style hitch is able to have bike racks and ball mounts inserted into an opening that is typically 1 ¼” or 2” in size, as opposed to the fixed tongue hitch which has a flat drawbar that cannot be removed. There is a coupler that is part of the trailer tongue which juts forward from the trailer box.The tow vehicle hitch ball is secured and attached to the coupler.

Another Type of Hitch

A ball hitch can be attached onto a tongue or onto the back of a vehicle and is usually made of some kind of hard metal such as chrome. If you know what you will be towing, then when buying a truck, you may want to consider buying one with a hitch already installed, since many trucks come with a ball hitch already attached. You can have a hitch installed if the truck you want doesn’t already have one.

A ball hitch doesn’t take up much space and there are even foldable ball hitches that fold down below the towing vehicle if you want to take up even less space. When deciding on the type of ball hitch, make sure it can fit the vehicle you are attaching it to. Ball hitches are not made to haul heavy loads and cannot handle as much weight as other types of hitches. These hitches are typically made for small trailers or boat trailers. Whatever you do, in order not to lose whatever you are towing, make sure that the hitch is properly installed.

Ball hitches do not typically cost a lot of money and can be easily installed. They are simple to use and can work on any type of vehicle. Although a ball hitch is not for everyone, it is something that will work for most people and their typical towing needs.

A hitch is likely to be used for many years, so it is important to choose the best hitch for your needs and not just the least expensive one. Always follow all of the proper safety rules when installing your hitch. 

Think Ahead

Using your vehicle to do any sort of towing is a big responsibility and requires smart preparation. It doesn’t matter what type of towing mechanism you choose, it’s always a good idea to carry replacement parts such as a spare hitch or tongue bolt and tool box whenever you tow your custom kitchen trailer. An essential step in towing is to properly equip your vehicle and custom kitchen trailer before you hit the road.
