Good looking trailer - congratulations! I have been wanting/needing one of those too... thinking about getting a covered one and use it to park my 2210 in when not in use. Right, the brakes are a good idea too - I have been pulling travel trailers for many years, and brakes are standard on most of those. A necessity... CDL to pull a trailer? Wow, I sure didn't know that - what states require CDL I wonder; have to check online for that.

How do I know if I need a Commercial Driver's License (CDL)?
You need a CDL if you operate a:

* Combination vehicle with a gross combination weight rating (GCWR*) of 26,001 or more pounds, provided that the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR*) of the towed unit is greater than 10,000 pounds.<<<This clause seems to be misinterpreted quite a bit...:rolleyes:
* Single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds.
* Vehicle transporting 16 or more persons (including the driver).
* Vehicle of any size carrying hazardous materials in quantities large enough to require placards.

A Class D Driver's License is required for all other vehicles.
* GCWR and GVWR are determined by the manufacturer.

Are there drivers who do not need CDLs?
Those exempted from the requirement to obtain a CDL may include drivers of recreational, military, and emergency vehicles; and some farm vehicles not used for hire if driven within 150 miles of the farm.

Well I finally got my trailer home and took a few pics. It should do well for what I need. Only problem is that the left front axle tire just happened to be square instead of round. It jumped up and down like a carnival ride. I had the wheels balanced and they said they would have to tie a brick on that wheel to get it to balance. The trailer guy I bought it from is going to order me a new wheel and tire from the factory and swap it out. That’s fair enough for me. :fing32:
