[Northkeep] Baronial Trailer

The number of axels doesn't matter all that much, in fact it helps with
tongue weight to have more than one axel.  Max tow capacity and tongue
weight are the only show stoppers.  If you're using a ball directly attached
to your bumper you might have a tongue weight issue.  Your Dodge Ram has at
least a 3000Lb tow capacity.  I doubt you'll have an issue of exceeding
that.  To be safe, take the weight of the trailer and subtract it from your
max capacity.  The remainder is what you can load and haul in the trailer.
The one big thing that you'll have to check on is max tongue weight your
bumper can handle, check you manual.  As long as the majority of the trailer
load weight is over the axel you should be fine.  You can adjust the load to
make sure you meet tongue weight.  Don't adjust it to far aft of the axel
though.

You'll also need to install a trailer light set on your truck.  It only
takes a few minutes and can be done by a 6 month old monkey (you may need
help though)... :)  You should be able to do all of this for less than $40.
Wal-Mart carries all the stuff you'll need.

My concern is that the bumper hitch can not hold enough weight to pull the 
double axel enclosed trailer?

Another alternative is to put a ball on your truck bumper.

Okay...I have had a few people very kindly to deliver the Baronial Trailer.
Unfortunately those who have stepped forward could not get it until Saturday
and we really need it there Friday night for the set up around 7-7:30. (My
truck does not have the tow hitch or I would do it myself)

Is there anyone with a truck or full sized SUV with a tow hitch who can help
us out?

If not I guess we could go over to Lucan and Sarah's to unload the items we
need and drive them over to site. Can anyone help with that if that is what
we have to fall back on?

Kindly,
Ian
