Just picked up this used Bushtec trailer
(This is my first picture upload attempt on this new site...thought I'd try it out first on the Northwest group). Just found this trailer locally, a guy was selling a 1984 Goldwing, but I talked him out of the trailer "only". It's an older Bushtec (the guy didn't know what he had), I will have to do some refurbishing over the winter... nice little project.

Thats a real nice looking trailer, it doesn't look like it needs anything from the pics.

Vince....nice score...but if I'm not mistaken, you already have a trailer. Is this a replacement...or for re-sale purposes? Just curious...and either way I hope your plans for next year include the Canadian Rockies Rally...!

Kris is Correct.. I already have a little Cargo Trailer (For Sale on Craiglsit right now), I have my Kwick Kamp tent trailer and I haven't decided on this one yet... refurbish or resell? I know I'll never be able to afford or justify a "new" Bushtec, so this might just be a keeper.

Looks like "refurbish" means you might have to buy new tires. :) Is there anything else wrong with it? I'm NOT a trailer guy but I'd pull it. That looks SWEET!

Monkeyman.. yup, I got extra tires (4ply) with it, but I think I might try and find some (6ply). Also, the paint is in great condition, would be ashame to paint it, but I think if I would keep it for the long term, I'd have to paint it (Black of course goes with everything) and have a new Black Bra made. Thanks for look'in...

Gee whiz, I only got "8" posted responses to my little trailer. I guess not a lot of Nomad Trailer pullers... I think I'll go over to my Valkyrie friends. /home/vince/Pictures/Photos/2011/06/04/P1030295.JPG

How many responses did you get from your Valkyrie friends about your little trailer?

That is a nice looking trailer. I would leave it as is. How many cubic feet is it?
