Default gooseneck rental in oregon?

Hey all, my deal fell through on the trailer i was looking at using, is there anyone in the portland oregon area that has a 25-30'ish gooseneck trailer I could, rent/use/work for? I posted a craigslist ad, but figured I'd reach out to the diesel community too. It would be for the end of the month, for a week, headed to southern oregon, only about 3-4000lbs cargo, max. I only found a couple days ago I can't use the original trailer, so the sooner i get any answers the better. Thanks guys.

I don't have a gooseneck but I do have a 10k, 20' deck bumper pull set up with a pintle and brakes if it will work for ya. If it will work, let me know and we will work something out.

Hmmm, 20' deck. I'll have to do some measurin. There is a guy at work checking on a trailer for me, should find out tomorrow morning about it, but i may be able to squeeze everything onto a 20. I'll have to look into it some more. Pintle hitch, I used to have one but never used the damn thing . Bet that turns a lot of people away from asking to use it . Thanks sleeper, can you give maybe a week to let you know for sure?

Even at 20' it will still be too short it looks like. Seemed like every day I'd see a big trailer where I grew up in southern oregon, but up here they seem to be really hard to find. I really appreciate the offer sleeper.

Hey Creeper, I was wondering if your offer is still open? I'm leaving this Sunday and ran into more problems I picked up the trailer I was going to use today, got it home, checked out the re-wiring i'd have to do (no biggie, I love electrical), and noticed the linings are gone. So I grabbed the wheels *clunk clunk*. I took it back cause I just don't trust it for that far of a run. If you could let me know I would GREATLY appreciate it. Otherwise i'm making two trips, which is at least another 11 hrs just in drive time, plus hassle. Thanks!

I have my trailer here... Your morethen welcome to use it...

Let me know.





I also have a converted camper trailer that is about 26' long... No brakes, but with just 3-4k on it you would be fine...

Hey csipsd. How long is the deck on the trailer that you have pictured? Is the camper a pull behind or a fifth wheel setup? I'll see what creeper has to say if he pops up in time since Newberg is so much closer than bend. But bend still beats the hell out of going all the way back down south. Extra 6 hrs vs. 11. I'd like to just take i-5, to 58, and then 97. We'll see. I'll be monitoring this post pretty close. I work from 11pm-7:30 am, and gotta get some sleep some time. Headed to bed now actually, and i'll check before I head to work. Thanks for the help!

The one in the pic is about 20 foot to the beavertail from the rack at the front...

The camper frame is a 2" ball standard trailer. I just pulled it from Prescott AZ to Bend not long ago, I got it in Prescott when I was down there.
