Subject: RE: Straight truck and pup trailer


Thumb of Michigan
We had one set of "short doubles" (thats what we generally call em here) and got along just fine with it. Get into and out of tighter places than we could with any semi we have. It had a manual dolly lock when we bought it, added air to it so it could be locked from the cab. Also put a couple of leaf springs on the tongue so we didn't have to use a jack to unhook it.

We sold it a few years ago, but it still hauls a lot of deer bait every fall.

If you already have a straight truck that'll handle the pup, adding a hitch and a pup won't be real pricey if you shop around. That stuff is laying all over Michigan and Ontario. Our pup had a hoist, but I did look at building one with a hopper pup instead. If you can make that happen, you don't have to screw around adding oil to the back.
