Can't add anything more here, except to re-emphasise that if the trailer is specifically an auto carrier (open down the middle) - watch the clearances.
Oh - and remind the hubby/friend/bro/whomever to be sure the hitch is locked down on the ball, especially if you do end up renting. Last year, I screwed up big-time and trusted the U-Haul store to hook their own equipment properly. Good plan. I drove my father-in-law's Mercury Monster up onto the ramp and the hitch immediately lifted away from the truck. I had a 14-foot long, 1500 lb. see-saw.
Let's just say I was startled. After changing clothes, I found that there was no damage done - but I will never trust anybody's eyeballs but my own for something like this. Duh.
Happy hunting. Pics! We want pics! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
