| Nah, it's a landscaping trailer, like this one, uses steel mesh for floor and ramp. I'm working on some wooden rails to add on the the welded steel walls:  I said finished because some of these trailers come as frames that you need to build on to. Guess it's not really "finished", but good enough for what I want. My object was to keep weight down so I can haul more. _________________  |

It's so bold, it's not hidden! Well the one I have isn't like that. It's practically invisible! A few notes:

I know you posted this long ago.
Just peel the Hidden Hitch sticker off.
I hadn't looked into it yet, but I am glad to hear they do make a hitch for our Rivs. Since my Son now has the Park Ave., I don't have a handy vehicle to pull our little utility trailer with.
Though, I will work on convincing the wife to let me put the hitch on her Saturn first.  _________________ DaleGutted box. 180* Stat. 104 plugs. Current Rivieras. 1970, 1996 SC. Long lost Rivieras. 1966 GS clone, 1970, 1990.  |

| I've got a 5' x 8' Enclosed all aluminum trailer that I used to pull with a Blazer I had. Haven't been able to use the trailer since giving the truck to my brother in another state. Anyway I think it would be too much to pull this with the Riv, so I might have to sell it and get a landscape trailer similar to what you got. I only need it for the trips to the Home store and occasionally moving a motorcycle. I think the enclosed trailer would just provide too much wind resistance for the Riv to be comfortable. _________________ 98 Riv, 102K Miles, EBC, LS1 Ft.Calipers, STB, Addco Rr Sway Bar, 180* stat., SSAC Headers, HF Cat, 1.9's, 105# springs, MPS 3.4, DHP tuned by the Deekster.

| The 95PA I just sold had a humongous trunk and a trunk mat. I have hauled 10 bags of mulch in the trunk of that sucker. And the 2000 Regal has the back seats that fold down, that comes in handy too. I like your trailer AA. I like hauling stuff. There is a huge rock that our construction crew dug up at work...I am probably going to bring it home on the dump truck and put it out by the driveway entrance with the other huge boulders...

| Yes, the ball slides out and a plastic cap covers the receiver. It's almost invisible from the back of the car. _________________  |

| I've done it. Just remove the Riv's tail lens piece and tap in to the existing wires. The plug's reversed connector (white wire) on the end is ground. The other 3 are hot for lights, brake, and signal. I think brake and signals are actually the same wires, just like on the car (if your trailer is wired correct). The brown wire is for tail lights and side markers, the yellow and green wires are for the left and right blinkers and brake lights. To tap the wires, you can cut or strip the insulation and use crimp connectors, or solder and heat shrink/tape. _________________  |

| cool thanks alot. did you run the wires down and under the car or should i just wire it in and leave the wires in my trunk when im not trailing anything. i know when i had my truck the wires were ran down under the bumper and hung under the car coiled up when i wasnt useing it but i think taht would look stupid on my riv. |
