4x6 Trailer

[Ranchu]

Hi All

First let me say what a great site! I love the pictures of the trailers - so many of them are a work of art!

Now I have to own up and admit that I don't want to build a "teardrop".... yet....

I am interested in building a small trailer to tow behind my woefully underpowered car. As such I am looking to construct something that is as light as possible. All that I intend to put in it is camping gear (esky, rolled up matress, tent, etc).

It doesn't need to have a huge load carrying capacity - probably 150kg (330lbs) or so.

Thanks!

Welcome, you can design whatever you suits your needs.

Howbout one with a bulbous front one like a Ranchu Lion?

Hi Ranchu,

Welcome to the forum.

Another ultralight eh? How about using Roly's stacker idea?

Is this for 1 or 2 people?

My Escape Hatch, without the air is about 700#.

Let us know what you come up with!

Mike...

P.S. What is your tow vehicle?

Hi. I'm searching the forum now looking for Roly's stacker and having to sift through a lot of posts...

I'm not building a teardrop/caravan to sleep people, just a trailer to transport my tent and other camping equipment.

The car is only a Nissan Pulsar - 1.6L automatic The trailer would have to be fairly rugged since Australian roads aren't always the best....

You can have a hauler and a TD with the stacker.
