Be cautious in how you store / lock it down. Your part of the world is just as bad as mine for trailers full of tools and race cars disappearing across the border before you ever know it's gone. I core-holed the concrete drive and put a recessed lug to chain the trailer tounge DOWN to. then added a wireless motion sensor inside the trailer tht is part of the home security. It trips and me and Mr Colt are out the side door before they could ever set it down on the ball hitch!

BTW,, CONGRATS on the purchase. It's so nice to pull in after a nite race and just lock things down. Worry about unloading after a good nights sleep!!
I said she wouldnt allow it ,, but she would let me remove it if it came down to it . My truck is short and if needed i can put the cart into the 4 foot side door if i need to fit a full size in . So a 24 will work good for me , plus its a nice tree.

I intend to tie a "lojack" type tracker to the truck and trailer , of coarse the nessesary locks and of coarse Mr.colt . Most of my neighbors are home or retired and home during the day also . Looking into insurance for truck , cart and trailer
