This particular transaction has been an adventure. 🤔
Customer reached out to us approx 3 weeks ago stating she was looking to buy a trailer on or around Vancouver Island and have it transported to Gibsons, BC. Sure, lets do it. 👍
She asked if we do pre-purchase inspections and we said yes. So, we were first scheduled to look at a unit on Gabriola. The seller claimed "mint", I came back with, "what, kidding right?". It was junk. Sadly, my customer was set on it, but now she had to continue her search. 🫣
She found the perfect unit, on Hornby Island. So, I was scheduled to take 4 ferries to go look at it. This one wasn't claimed to be mint, but other than some minor delamination on drivers rear corner, it was as mint as a 2008 teailer could be. So, lets buy. 👌
A week later after it was paid for, it was picked up, (another 4 ferries), and brought to a storage spot in Nanaimo so the customer could move her items into it. 💪
We returned a few days later early in the morning to start the trek over to Gibsons, (another 4 ferries). However, we got merely a few hundred feet from the storage yard and blew a tire, (and the spare was flat). So, using a transfer hose I stole some air from a truck tire, and got it switched quickly to make our ferry. 👏
In the end the trailer was delivered to its final spot and leveled, (definitely need to take more pics and videos). After 3 weeks, many many ferries, a few inspections, we got it all done. 😎🤙
