Default no rentals

I tried everywhere in St.Louis, no good. It seems the only people that will rent an open trailer, is U haul. Penske does, but you have to rent THEIR truck also.

Did not want to, but bought a Pace American GT Shadow, delivery next week.

The rental of any trailer, has a lot to do with

a) the insurance normally is picked up by the tow vehicle.

b) to tow a 24' trailer (enclosed) you may need a equalizing/anti sway hitch added to you Expedition. I did. But a trailer like that, will have electric brakes also. Then you need the box on the dash board to control the brakes.

c) Enclosed trailer can be a hand full for those not in the know.

I suspect these reasons are why no one rents enclosed.

Sorry....
