Thanks for any input.

I have a 24ft 2001 RTX that I purchased new. I have really enjoyed it and I would highly recommend Classic. Zero problems.

Good Luck,
Bill

Since you guys haul these things up and down the highways, I figure you all would know as to how they perform. I'm looking at 600 mile round trips and just want something that will hold up and still be able to open the side door when I get to the track.

Dave, I agree with you that vendors are needing to unload their trailers. People are having to tighen their belts with the economy the way it is. What a time to be building a Stocker, huh? I have found a 28 footer roughly 40 miles from the house that appears to have low miles. Now to work a deal......

Thans again to all of you who responded with their inputs. Much appreciated.

Todd, with all due respect, may I humbly suggest that you consider knocking-off a couple of liquor stores instead of a bank. Banks mean the FBI gets involved, Federal pen instead of state prison, etc. Just too much hassle man!

And besides financial institutions are just in a state of turmoil. You'll probably(or prolly as Pogo and some on here would say) have a bigger score with the liquor stores anyway!LOL

Could somebody please explain to a dumb-*** like me, exactly how do ya' put those little 'faces' wherever ya' want 'em? I'm lucky to find the 'on' switch.

Oh yeah, good luck on the trailer purchase, Todd.

Ken,

You are correct. A college professor I once had told us that federal prison is the way to go versus a state prison. He said you can probably play tennis or whatever while serving your time. Houston seems to have a bunch of liquor stores but here, where I live, there is a bank on every corner. Either way, I think I will leave the robbing to someone else and just spend the kid's college fund.

Before I moved to the midwest I was a mechanic for a local police department. We had a bunch of bank robberies in a short period of time. After the guy got caught the lead detective told me if you only rob one bank and do a good job of it you have a good chance of getting away with it. Appearently its when you get greedy you get caught as they get a little more info on you each time you do it. If anybody wants to try this theory out let me know how it goes I dont think my balls will ever be big enoughf LOL!

Todd,

No matter what brand of trailer you buy just make sure it has at least 6000lb axles and 16 inch wheels and tires. The trailers with 15 inch wheels and tires will give you problems if you do any long distance towing. I had that set up on my trailer and blew lots of tires. There are no good 15 inch tires available for trailers that will hold up.

Mike,

Glad this is something I didn't have to learn the hard way. You and another racer made this recommendation concerning the axles and tires. Thanks again to all that responded.
