<FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3> Personally, I think you would come out better just purchasing a trailer. For at 35-45 dollars a day, ( think that's about what one would run in price ) that can add up quickly. When you can taking that money and paying for something that is yours. And you will be usingthe trailerfor other things as well.</FONT></P>

Thanks Jammie but it only costs $143 + Taxone way from Gig Harbor, Washington to Helena, Montana(includes four days for trip). I have the use of a trailer in Helena when I need it.U-Haul has no information on the RTV so I hope it will fit the trailer when I pick it up. It comes with tie downs that go over thetires and ratchets down to secure the vehicle. I went to my local U-Haul and they did not have one on site to take some measurements. I guess if I pick it up and it will not fit I can returnit and go and buya trailerthat it will fit.

<P mce_keep="true">I wouldn't mind doing it with a tandem axle UHaul trailer but not a single axle. I know it is done a lot, with no problem, but I want four (4) wheels and two (2) axles under my high $$$$$ toys while going down the Interstate. I also have a radar detector for every vehicle and they come on with the key. I am from Illinois you see!![][][:'(] </P>

Looked up on the U-Haul site, It states the 6 x 12 trailer Max load is 1915 lbs. </P>


AND THE SPEED LIMIT IS 45 MPH >>>>>>>. I remember now seeing all them MPH decals on them trailers now that I read it !!!!</P>


Don't know about yours, but mine is some over 2000 lbs. now !!!!</P>

[/quote] I was talking about a tandem axle 6 x 12, lookin' at the website:</P>


http://www.uhaul.com/trailers/</P>


showed a tandem axle 6x12 ( open ), clicked on it and the information was there. Heck, I myself, wouldn't haul a RTV on a single axle again. Pulled one to the farm once with a single. ( Needed to get the trailer there, one of them two birds with one stone things )</P>


When I unloaded it. Thanked God I made it,and swore I wouldn't make that mistake again. And it was less than a 20 mile run !!!!!</P>

<P mce_keep="true">Thanks for the information it makes me feel better since I have already reserved one of the tandem axle haulers. I was just a little unsure about the wheel base fitting the ramps since the RTV is shorter wheel base and U-Haul only designated a maximum length and width. You folks at Messick should know, Thanks again.</P>

<P mce_keep="true">The trailer displayed on your post isthe 6X12 Box Trailer they do not rent oneway and load capacity is only 1900 Lbs.. The one I reserved is the tandem wheel auto hauler. Thanks Two Guns!!</P>
