That’s a nice car hauling trailer. I’d cut the tool box studs down to a nub and place a tire valve cap over the remainder so they don’t tear up your straps with bouncing around. You can silicone them on so they stay also. Love seeing your fleet. Hope Aspen is well!!

I was in my own aging full size European sedan that I maintain myself: a 2014 Audi A8 with the 4.0 twin turbo engine. Makes me think "Where's Waldo? Waldo was here!!" Love your videos!!

9:48 As someone who works at a trailer manufacturer, you'd be hard pressed to find a trailer without bad welds all over. It's not because inexperience in welding, it's because either they have to keep up with a quota or because they're not paid enough to care.

[@BarnStangz]

A new Waldo Video ! That was a great trip you filmed. New England is nice this time of year. Your home is full, no more cars :) Looks like you have some work to do, the guys are about to bust for you to complete the gooseneck. Where's the gold ring? Hope you are still happily married. Have a great week. Greg from NC.

That generation of Mercedes e class - notoriously bad for sunroom drain blockages leaking into the cab. Rear drains soak the rear passenger footwell, the forward drains soak the carpet against the firewall and driver/passenger well. I’d start there.

[@TheJagjr4450]

Great combo... I've got the same trailer but a 2009 2500HD GMC Duramax, also have a 16 foot open and 24 x 8 ft enclosed. The 20ft is so much more of a unit to pull on the road, so much smoother, just remember to take your corners wide to keep the right side out of the ditch, but if you've pulled a gooseneck you know the drill.

[@Robsav-yx6vi]

I work next to a trailer manufacturing factory. Take a walk at lunch on a breezy day, they have the doors to the factory wide open. Big gust of wind, can see the welding arcs dance and hear the sound of the arc change as the shielding gas gets blown away. They all just kept on welding. I decided to build my own trailer in that instant.

[@jasonmansfieldsr8645]

Always a good time when you pick up a trailer on the way. I live in Wisconsin and found that comparable trailers were about $1000 extra here, as opposed to, say, Alabama where I had to do some training. It’s not cost effective to just go there and pick it up and then drive it back, as you alluded. So I left Wisco with a motorcycle on a mc trailer to pick up a Big Tex in Birmingham, Alabama. I unloaded the bike and put both on the 20’ car hauler I got, and finished off the trip! Good stuff.

[@themagiccoasterlover]

Would love a car hauler build series. Regarding your tool box placement. You may way to move it forward. I only say that because there will be times when you have a car that comes over the front bar, and it will block your access to the tools box. I did this on mine and found I would always need to get into the box to grab something like a wheel block or a small 1" strap to keep the hood down ect.

[@tranquility7692]

When I was trailer shopping last year I also originally wanted a 10k capacity and 102in deck for my wide tire vehicles but couldn't find any for less than $10000. So I settled for a 10k 22ft Rice trailer which was significantly cheaper and had a nice built in tongue toolbox. You may find that your trailer is a bit short at 20ft, I can just fit a full crew cab long box on mine. 10k capacity is nice as most vehicles are under 7000lbs. Anyhow, still looking forward to more gooseneck build videos, I need some motivation on my 5th wheel camper to log trailer project.

Hi Waldo I put a receiver my car hauler trailer and an Anderson plug on the back of my truck to interface with a winch in a cradle that I can use to recover vehicles in case they breakdown and need to be recovered like your Mercedes or if I need to pick up a vehicle I purchased. I can remove it when not needed. Also it would be great if you could get yourself a large shop built . I'm starting on 40X40 metal garage now to compliment my existing shop. ( you can never have to much covered space at least what I tell the wife). Of course I don't have to worry about snow loads in Georgia like you do. Please keep the videos coming and thanks for the update on your projects.

[@skidrowoffroad]

I was amazed to see that you drove all the way to Carlisle to get a trailer. I pass that shop every day and go to most of the Carlisle Events car shows, so I instantly recognized where you bought it.

New trailer is understandable. Once you get one that cant to a certain job efficiently that a trailer made to do what you need like the car hauler you will end up with multiple trailers, plus you have the space. Ok after the end of the video, that car hauler can be very versatile

[@Stuntman2304]

Where I live we get hurricanes regularly. Sometimes insurance companies will total and flood damage a car that only saw water up to the brakes. I've known people to buy them back at a price well under value, replace the brakes, and have a cheap car that will last them for years to come.

[@goptools]

Sometimes an immediate need outweighs the desire to do everything yourself. Quality used trailers keep a pretty good resale value so you will probably make out fine if you do decide to sell this one in the future. It's a good-looking trailer in spite of a few somewhat sloppy welds. Structurally though, it looks solid.

[@Dommas1106]

Hello Waldo and thank you for your recent video. Buying Mercedes is a wise thing to do and what I mean by this is this. I have a VW Caravelle (which I’m Wild Camping in the Scottish Highlands as we speak and I have my Beagle whose name is Paul with me as always. I have an Audi A3 that’s done no miles and I don’t know why I still own it (it is a lovely car 🤷) My third in a Mercedes E Class Wagon, which I’ll never sell as 1 I love this car and 2 Paul loves it too. As far as your Chines Tool box goes, build your own. You are more than capable. Take care Waldo and stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Uh oh.... Edit. Phew! Lovely old 212. Great cars. Miss my 63 Estate.

[@jamesbubnick]

For the toolbox instead of using silicon calk I'd recommend using automotive butyl. It's a sealant, never hardens, is easier to work with on stuff like that and is neater to use. It's used extensively in the automotive industry as a sealant. Either use rope or the aluminum backed pads both work great. As for the welds I'd say some welds were done via programed welders and the others were hand done...maybe rework. I'd find it hard to believe for a trailer company to do all the welds manually.
