Viper Owner
I opted to start a new thread vs. posting to a much older one and I have read every thread I could find about towing a Viper on a Uhaul. Situation is I moved about 1000 miles away and need to get my car down here, I prefer to tow my own car vs throwing the keys to a transport company, just the way I am. I know a newer model Uhaul trailer will work fine as many have done it but what I can't seem to find is any consistency on is the "sandblasting" effect of being on the trailer. Some people say they ruined windshields and others say it is fine, I don't see how that is, I figure it either happens to them all or something else maybe caused the damage? Anyway I'm going to be driving a Uhaul truck (17') as well and I'm wondering if having the rear wheels so far under the truck will make this a non-issue, does anyone know? I've also seen posts where people wrapped their car in wrap but I think that could be an issue if it starts to unravel so I'd rather just not have anything on it if possible. So I guess I'm hoping enough people have done this that I can get some good advice on how to protect the car (or if it is even needed on this setup) from any damage. Is the only places you truly have to worry about is the front facia and windshield and mirrors? I've looked for other trailer options but besides buying one for a 1 time use I can't find anything but Uhaul. Even if I could find one they would want it returned which I can't do. And to those that will say to just use a transport company, I get what you are saying, and that is option B at this point. I don't like the thought of a transport company moving my car several times on and off. So really would just like to hear from those that have done this before and their experience, thanks in advance.
