    Heading to Vegas Tuesday night from Phoenix. Back next Monday. Picking up fenders for @Techoma. Anyone else need anything?

    Anyone have any experience using a uhaul car trailer? I want to bring my Z back this trip. Also, anyone have a brake controller I can borrow? Can leave deposit with you.

    I've towed a few vehicles with u haul trailers. They work great and have everything you'll need whether a Dolly or flatbed.

    I CAN give you a brake controller.

    UHaul trailer will be surge brakes, no controller needed. Will also have tall fenders, aka door blockers. What's your timeline for moving it?

    Oh OK. Thanks.

    I can crawl out the window.

    I'll heading up tonight and will probably pick up the trailer this weekend and drive it back Monday.

    I've got an extra set of vehicle tie-downs if you want to borrow them. In addition to the tire baskets UHaul will have.

    I'm a stickler for secure loads. Wish I was more available. My trailer is too heavy to stick behind a little truck.

    The tow dolly has come a long way. In Feb we towed my daughters Xb to KS from here. Worked like a champ.

    I'm not so sure about the tall fenders. I hauled a truck so small it's basically a car and got in and out of the truck just fine. Extra tie downs are a good idea, I used some good ones from Costco. There's a pic of it on my IG
