We're looking for a trailer....bought Hubby a hitch over the holidays.
Soooo...if anyone sees one...prefer bushtec but willing to look at others...

In the orange county Craig's list there is a Bushtec Road Star for sale. It is pictured behind a Goldwing.
It is in Laguna Beach and they're asking $700.00. It looks like it is silver in color.

Sent an email...no response. It was posted Jan 16 so probably gone just not deleted.
Missed it by "that much" 
There's a guy in Yucipa that wants 1k for a 1990 version...hubby didn't seem excited. Found one on Ebay he did like, painted the right color and has a mural, but it's in Houston, TX...not sure how we would get it here at a decent price.

If he woulda got the diamond plate, Dozer could come along and guard the trailer.
Looks nice, cooler looking than the bushtec but does it hold as much?
I bet you could fit a 2000 watt amp and a couple 18" subs in there! I know that's the real reason for getting one.

Wow! That looks very sleek and aerodynamic. Bet he won't even know it's there.... until he uses his reverse! You should go to Mexico, looks like you could fit about 40 kilos in there!! Hey! You gotta a medical excuse!! And a lot of needy freinds!

2 cubic feet smaller then the bushtec but weighs more from the git go...(seems all non-bushtec weigh more)
It's black....Hubby is going to consider painting though and we want to get cooler carrier.
Paying less then 1/2 of what they wanted for 8 year old Bushtec....and we use a more universal ball hitch instead of having to pay for the bushtec specific pin type.
Hubby does say it will carry all the pizzas back to the cabin

Judging from the second photo (tail lights) it looks like a good match for a Wing. It's gonna need a coat of white paint though.
