Hi guys, I'm in need of a car trailer to borrow for this weekend.
I'm heading over to Melb to pick up a van and if there would be someone kind enough to offer theirs I'd appreciate it.
Ideally I'd like to pick it up before Friday and I'll have it back to you either Sunday night or early the following week.
Thanks.
Can borrow mine mate but you will have to travel 700km in the wrong direction first lol.
Owner (Jason) - STICKTHIS Automotive Decals and Stripes

Another van! You'll have a shed full of more junk (quality parts) than me soon.
Can't help with the trailer, but was talking to a mate about car trailers on the weekend as I'll need one for my big move in a week or so. He tells me that he's found EDIT cooks hire not coates END EDIT to be the cheapest for them.

Likewise I don't have trailer but have used Cook's Hire at Seaton (cnr Tapleys Hill Rd and Dumfries Ave - 8356 2036) for interstate round trips in the past.
Has been a fair few years now since I last needed one, but at that time they were one of the few places that were happy for their trailers to go interstate - their trailers seemed well maintained - good suspension/bearings/brakes - towed really well, so may be worth a call.
blocker..ring a couple of the big rental places as they often do one way renters and if you are really lucky they may have one in melbourne that needs to come back to adelaide..
what have you bought Blocker??
An HZ van, but I need a trailer - can't afford one now that I've owned 3 vans in 3 months!!!Originally Posted by Jeza
mate, i dunno your exact experience with car trailers but thats a long haul.
make sure you load it on FORWARDS.
take the front wheels right up to the front of the trailer
ratchet strap the front crossmember on a 45 deg ang down to the front of the trailer.
i put a chain and shackle around the same position for a backup incase the ratchet goes.
you should ba able to sit on 90 km/h and it won't move.
get a TILT trailer if you can, easy to unload when you get home
estimate the time it will take and multiply it by 1.5
goodluck
