    Time for another Uhaul 6 x 12 Trailer Review. However, this time I'm providing step by step instructions on the proper way to pack and load the trailer for a long distance move. We are towing with a 2005 Toyota Highlander. We are moving the contents of a one bedroom apartment that if packed improperly would likely not fit. However, you will be amazed at what a little planning and organization can do to help provide you a stress free move across the country or just across town.

    Balance the load for excellent mpg. The 2 wheel 6X12 is wonderful for small SUVs like this. Also, most important, the hydraulic braking plug and play, no control needed, is a huge bonus. Works off inertia. Great feature.
    Properly packed, 396 cubic feet, plan for 300-325. I use these a lot for what I do.
    Always bring small floor jack , el cheapo, in case needed as it has no jack.

    Thank you so much for this video!! I'm about to do my first big move across the country with furniture and I want to haul everything using my Toyota Tacoma. I've been struggling with visualizing the space in the trailer sizes, as they didn't have any on the lot for me to see in person. This helped out A LOT. I've decided to get this size, since I have a feeling not everything will fit into the other sizes and I want to avoid multiple trips. Your video was exactly what I was looking for and it's an absolute lifesaver. Also, thank you for all the packing tips!

    • @lifewithjackandnicole
      @lifewithjackandnicole  Рік тому +6

      I always advise to add up the value of the things you have along with replacement cost and usually it will be cheaper to downsize, use a small trailer and avoid shipping cost. We often had estate sale companies come in and sell for us. Made the process very simple. Good luck on the move to Atlanta!

    • @lifewithjackandnicole
      @lifewithjackandnicole  11 місяців тому

      Not sure that will all fit but I might recommend you measure each item and then go to the Uhaul website and look at dimensions for the 6x12 trailer to see how you might configure everything to fit. However, given the items you listed I'm pretty sure you could not fit any extra boxes. At the same time it may work if you only have 3 queen mattresses with no box springs it may all fit.

      It's never a problem. Most all hotels have extended parking spots in designated area. Have gone cross country with this size trailer multiple times and never had an issue. Of course, you can always call ahead as you make reservations to confirm parking situation with your hotel.

    • @lifewithjackandnicole
      @lifewithjackandnicole  Рік тому +3

      Pretty sure a King Size bed will not fit due to the height of trailer which is right around 6 feet. However, it might. I would suggest you measure the mattress against trailer height. As mentioned in video there is absolutely no problem with queen mattress but of course as a general rule they are only 5 feet wide. Hope this helps.

    • @lifewithjackandnicole
      @lifewithjackandnicole  Рік тому +6

      It sounds like it will if you take my tips and use same size boxes for miscellaneous items. They key is to be organized and not have a lot of loose items. Of course without seeing all you have I can't be completely sure. You might consider selling the L shape couch to insure plenty of room. In the past we have sold couches and found excellent replacements on sites like Wayfair at very reasonable prices. Good luck and try not to worry. I remember anytime I would ask my sweet wife if she was worried she would reply saying..."why, would it help?"
