I loaded all of my junk into a truck and my '66 Sprite onto a Uhaul car carrier today and I thought it might be beneficial to somebody if I posted about it here.
First of all, I chose to use a full car carrier instead of a dolly because I'm moving a pretty good distance (Key West to Pittsburgh). For some reason Uhaul's computer system only allows the option of a dolly for a Sprite so we had to say my car's a 72 midget
There was absolutely no way that my car would have gone up the ramp and onto the carrier without scraping so we had to back the trailer up to an incline (hard to find around here) to decrease the angle. Thank you BugEyeBear for posting some tips about this situation somewhere in the past, it helped me today.
What do you guys use as a tie-down point in the back for extra straps? I'm nervous about using the axle due to the brake lines. Should tension on the back point be pulling the car forward or backwards?
I'm a young guy with not all that much stuff and I had quite a surprise today when I found out that my spare parts and general car stuff take up almost as much space as all of the rest of my possessions!
What a long soggy day it's been
