I love this trailer and love the ease of towing all my "stuff" behind me and not inside the van. BUT, life changes. My business has changed and our lease is expiring on our facility. I've also moved where I live so this trailer (among a lot of work gear plus some toys) has to go.
Between the original purchase from Turtleback plus the changes after purchase plus the Yakima box, I have over $15,000 in this awesome trailer. Asking $12,000. This is a perfect opportunity to buy a slightly used and well appointed base Turtleback and customize to your liking for work or expeditions. If you have any interest in this, let's start a dialog as I am a motivated seller.
