I am started my planning phase of building a teardrop. Trying to figure out costs, etc. I am wondering about the trailer itself.
When I was working on my house, I bought a Harbor Freight trailer. It was one of the small ones that folded up. We got it, put it together, built a wooden "tub" for it to haul junk to the dump.
What I noticed about that trailer is that it seemed poorly made. The rusting began on it pretty quickly. The powder coating seemed very poor and was peeling off within a year.
So, have they gotten better? Is this less of a problem since there is something covering most of it? Do you do something else to them to stop them from rusting out?
and finally, is the Northern Tool version any better?
I would be keeping my trailer outside as I don't have garage space for it. I live in a very humid area on the coast (so there is also salt in the air but not on the roads).
