I have already started building this trailer( see the build journal section under teardrop toy hauler) . The tong weight thing is on my mind. I have seen some commercially available trailers namely the little guy 6 wide that have the same basic layout. The axel on the little guy is further back than mine, I would think that that would create more tong weight than my design with the axel more toward the middle. I put the atv on the trailer last night to see how it fit, It did have a very heavy tong weigh, I have no way of knowing what the actual weight was. I know a few guys have built toy haulers this way , I would like to hear from anyone with experience hauling an atv in front of a teardrop. How does it pull, pros, cons.
