[Moo] Purchase of a Baronial Pennsic Trailer

[alavinus]

 I agree with this. 2 Days is not enough time to come to a decision. 
What dimensions do we need for a trailer? How big is the current storage unit? What are the monthly costs?How much is trailer insurance? most personal policies only cover up to $1,500 or so in trailer damage and some disclaim it entirely.
Are we ordering the trailer? most places around here seem to generally have trailer in stock, why would need to make this decision in such a short time?
I REALLY don't like the idea of spending this money without an itemized list of expenses, including any fees added onto by the dealership. 
Here are the current cooper's reg regarding trailers:
Storage Trailer Requirements
   
   - The trailer must have good tires, working tongue jack and ball hitch at all times.
   - The axle(s) must be in the middle of the trailer.
   - The frame must be rated heavy enough to bear the weight of the structure and the load.
   - Maximum dimensions: no wider than 8 feet (this includes eaves), no longer than 25 feet (including hitch and frame) and no higher than 12 feet from ground to peak. In summary, these measurements include everything in all directions.
   - No mobile homes or RV frames.
   - The trailer must be inspected by our staff to determine acceptance. A contract is signed if the trailer is accepted.
   - The storage fee is $150/year paid in advance (subject to change). There is a $10/month late fee.
That seems to preclude an old semi trailer.

 The trailer is a large amount of Baronial funds and should have a longer comment time than 2 days, especially since this weekend there are two SCA events, a large demo north of our lands and  is a holiday weekend (Father's day). In the announcement there was no mention about the size of the trailer nor insurance costs.  The Barony should have a written estimate outlining size, frieght costs,taxes, processing and any other additional fees. There should also be an estimate of Coopers storage fee, insurance and registration costs. I suggest this considering the extra expenses Grimm told the attendees of the June Baronial meeting about purchasing his household trailer. Only after this happens and a 30 day remark period should a vote be taken.

Greetings to the Populace of the wonderful Barony of Stierbach,

At the last business meeting it was agreed in concept to purchase (not exceeding $5,000) a Baronial Trailer to be stored at Coopers Event Center. This will take the place of the off site locker which the Barony currently rents and contains items used only at Pennsic for the Baronial encampment. 

To maintain clear and open communication with the populace, it was decided to broadcast this information and open it up for discussion and comments. 

If you have any comments regarding this purchase please relay them to Lord Stephan Grimm, Exchequer, at exchequer[at]stierbach.org. 

To facilitate obtaining the trailer in time for Pennsic, comments need to be relayed this weekend and NLT 17 June 2018. 

This purchase will make setting up the Baronial encampment easier eliminating the need for multiple runs to the off site locker. In addition the cost of storage at Coopers will be less then the price of the storage locker. 

It is hoped that the populace finds this purchase acceptable. 

Always Your in Service 

Lady Johanna Van den Vaerst 
Baronial Steward
