Please take time to know difference of hitch styles as the unigo style you would need to have a adapter plate ($90 from them ) made which means extra $ for a normal ball mount and the normal ball mount hitch would need a adapter for a Uni-go trailer only .It depends which one you want or need

I have called both Uni-GO (Starting price $295=Shipping:eek: ) for a hitch he has 10 in stock and they will work with us for a group buy . Problem with these are you need a adapter plate to connect a normal ball mount trailer as the UNI-GO trailer .this was $90 at unigo . My friend said he would make one for me for a beer as its just a bent piece with 5 holes drilled in it but I DONT think I can talk him into making 10 OR 15 OF THEM
Im trying to get in touch with hitch USA (alsoStarting price $295=Shipping:eek: :eek: ) as they have hitches that are Ball mount only like normal trailers.If you wanted a UNI-GO trailer then you would need a adapter for that
Shipping for both seem to be a bit high to TX between $35 to $50

There doesnt seem to be a hitch that takes a reciever so we could mount a cooler rack only on the back ?
Maybe something someone can fab up one for a decent fee ?
The poll is to see which one most would want .
I would get with the right dealer and see what savings if any they would pass on to us .


Now the sad part :(

:soapbox DISCLAIMER::cop2:
I’m not making these and in no way am I promoting pulling a trailer
These are a novelty item only to make it look like you can pull a trailer with all your stuff and still bring another along in comfort.
Please go by what your owners manual says:cool: or :spank1:


If you are from one of the coasts please understand I am not a lawyer dont want to be a laywer and most likely you are not either so please let’s keep the legal opinions to ourselves ( Or PM me :rolleyes: )
This is not a business not intended to be anything other than a few friends getting together without a leader and no one responsible but ourselves (what a concept :eek: ) to get a decent price on something we all want .If you cant go by this then dont join in

I would be happy with either as I have a trailer now that takes a ball mount but I do want a UNI-GO down the road.
I make nothing off this and for the effort involved would be losing money if it was a business venture.

I'm just trying to share some savings for those of us that want one :hat1:

This is a great guy site who makes a carrier that fits on a standard ball hitch. It doesn't need a receiver and works great!
I have one leftver from my Valkyrie and would be interested just to be able to mount this.

Good input
Anyone else know a decent hitch maker we might talk into a group buy ?
Uni-go said he would work with us on a group buy
