Yep, I still get a kick out of that myself.It came with that tag and I kept it for a few reasons:
*It makes it look even less like it has a ton of expensive gear in it.
Steel Box Trailer completely sanded down inside and out 18 months ago and repainted with rust resistant primer (2 coats) and enamel (2 coats). Roof is sealed. No leaks. This trailer has been outfitted for diving. It can easily carry 8 sets of double tanks and 5-8 Aluminum tanks. 4-drawer file cabinets were used to store smaller gear. Other gear can be stored on shelves bungeed down or hung from shelving using double bolt snaps. Wetsuits, drysuits, etc can hang from 2 dowels installed near the inside front and rear of the trailer. In short, this trailer can hold a lot of gear. It has a heavy duty suspension so weight is not a problem.
I put a lot of work into the trailer, and while it may not be the prettiest around it is definitely outfitted for diving. The fact is, I didn't want to have a pretty little trailer that looked like it had a lot of expensive stuff in it, even if it is tough to get into without the keys.
Make me an offer with a date the offer expires. I'll consider anything over $1000, but would like to get closer to $2000. I'd prefer direct email to jandrews@me.com. I'll even deliver the trailer for a negotiated fee.

Outside Shelf and Hangars

Solid steel shelf on the outside of the trailer folds down and was used to don and take off double steel SCUBA tanks. The shelf is very secure and sturdy. Chain (see inside picts) can be used to provide additional support. Chain and links provided.
Bungee installed above shelf to hold tanks in place when not in use. Shelf folds up and locks securely in place when not in use. Additional shelf not installed, but available to buyer at no charge.

Tires and Suspension
--------------------------
Carlisle "Radial Trail" 4-Ply Trailer Tires with very little wear
Tire Size - ST205/75R15
"ST" signifies the tire is a "Special Trailer Service" size that was designed to only be used on boat, car or utility trailers.
New fenders
Reflective safety tape on both fenders and rear trailer bumper.
Heavy duty leaf suspension. The original owner used the trailer to haul floor tile around the state. Packing it full of dive gear doesn't come close to overloading it and I've hauled A LOT of steel and aluminum tanks in it from Austin to Florida and South Texas, and plenty of local trips.
Vents
-------
2 - adjustable 4"x9.5" side vents near the rear of the trailer
1 - 13"x13" roof vent.
The vents are all new. The roof vent is adjustable, but is zip tied down at the moment because the trailer would not go into the garage with the vent on. All the parts to put it back together are in the trailer.
Inside
-------
3 - adjustable height wire shelves, one on each side and a third between the file cabinets up front.
2 - file cabinets for storage bolted to the front and floor of the trailer
2 - pieces of angle iron installed to hold SCUBA tanks in place at bottom. Top of tanks held in place with bungees. Will accommodate any size tank.
2 - 1.5" wooden dowels inside trailer can be used to hang
drysuits, wetsuits, vests, etc...anything that you can hang.
Single tanks can be safely stored laying down in between the file cabinets at the front of the trailer.

All of the above items were installed 18 months ago.
