Boxster Trailer Hitch continued

The first decision you have to make is what kind of hitch you want. there are basically 2 options; 1) Receiver type or 2) simple trailer ball. The advantage of the receiver type is that you can switch the trailer hook up for a bike rack or other kind of rack with ease. I wanted the versatility of being able to tow my trailer or put on the bike rack. If you are not sure what I am talking about google "receiver type bike rack"

Boxster Trailer Hitch Continued

Trailer selection will be the next decision to make. This will depend on you intended use. I wanted a trailed that I could 1) load up extra gear for camping or travel. My wife and I are both 71 years old and now we have a little more time to do some of these things. I also track my car occasionally so I wanted to be able to haul track tires and a nice toolbox as well as track day incidentals. I was able to find the perfect trailer on FaceBook marketplace for $250.00. It is very light (less than 300 pounds), and has a removable luggage bubble. It also has a mounted drink/food cooler on the front.

Boxster Trailer Hitch Continued

Next I began to prepare the trailer. I removed the cooler and the luggage bubble. I scraped, sanded and primed the trailer for a new coat to paint.
