Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

by **Clancy Courtney** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 8:33 am

I just noticed HF is selling a 1500# capacity 5'x8' trailer with metal stake sides and ramps, model 93747. Has anyone used this trailer yet?

Wow. That will help a lot of non welders build a 5' X 8' teardrop.

...I guess the demand from the TD community has them offering what so many need...who sez we don't make a difference

Wouldn't you have to buy a portaband saw at the same time, so you can cut all that excess metal off?

Isn't the Red Trailer 5x8 $499 compared to that HF 5x8 at $599?

Mike, you may be right. But at least you get to buy the porta band. :lol:

Mike , It looks like a bolt together frame, simliar to the Red Trailer 5'x8'.

One can always build the trailer in the HF parking lot so one can haul all the "other" tools that a teardrop builder needs home with him (or her). :lol:

Have to be politically correct here....... :roll:

looks like freight would be 50 bucks if you had it shipped.
wonder if they will stock those in the stores?
those 20% off coupons would be a handy thing to have.

what could one do with all that excess steel?

I just checked and the shipping to Missouri is $95 for a Red Trailer. So if you could pick them up at the store they are about the same price. Throw in a 20% off coupon and they would be a down-right bargain.
