No really I am leaning toward the weekender just for the practicality, but i am stuck on which one. Jim Suttons looks nice and the prowler products looks great also. I have never seen either in person. Just looking for some opinions. I will eventually get a prowler trailer. I just think using the trailer for a day trip would not be practical.

I love my trailer, but you are right about day trip, wish I had bought one of the original REAL ROD weekender. It would be great for daily use, heck never would remove it, and Bob made it so you could still pull the trailer. Would guess it overloaded the factory 100lbs tongue weight but not the 1,000 lbs total

Seen Jims at event last year, I think it looks better in person than in the pictures, didn't see it open so not sure about space. Good thing is he still had some for sale a few months back.

If you plan on getting a trailer the option to use both is a plus. Not sure if Jims can do both but think it can. A weekender is hard to come by, cannot remember the screen name but think it was Pantara made a copy of Real rods weekender but it was slightly larger, Plus, but he would not make the frame to pull the trailer. I would have bought one from him except for this reason.

My 2 cents, if a trailer comes available, BUY IT! Only about 1,350 trailers made.

On the other hand has anyone ever heard of a Prowler trailer hitch failing?

I don't know where the week part of the trailer hitch is whether it is the attaching points or the box tubing for the receiver. It would have been nice to have a little more support in the middle of the hitch but the transmission cooler is in the way. That 100 pound weight limit is magnified many times over on rough roads.

I know just how you feel.

The last time I went anywhere with her, I drove something with a larger trunk capacity.

The "Get-A-Way" is a custom designed
cargo box made especially for the
Plymouth and Chrysler Prowler. It attaches
to the factory MOPAR trailer hitch. This
Cargo box is made out of thick ALUMINUM,
just like your Prowler. It comes to you with
a sandblasted finish as seen in the photos
below, ready for your local painter to skim
coat and paint. The pictures that show a
painted box are just to show you what it
could look like when painted to match your
car.

This is a great alternative to the rare and
very expensive trailer. Just throw your
luggage in and take off for the weekend...

Features:

Box and frame made of high quality
Aluminum

Polished Stainless Steel Hinges that will not
rust

Gas shock to hold the lid open

Lock/latch to keep contents safe

Weatherstripping that seals the box and
keeps out the elements

Box tilts, allowing you to open the Prowler's
deck lid

License plate can be seen through the
frame

Specially designed hitch bolt ensures the
cargo box will not be loose in your hitch (no
rattling)

Much stiffer than fiberglass boxes

Weighs approx. 45 lbs

Measures 42" x 18" x 14"H (approx. 4.2
Cubic feet)

Can carry 45 lbs of cargo
