Ok my Wife and I have finely decided on a design, Mike suggested maybe a Ben-Hopper after I voiced that my Wife liked the style of the Grasshopper and I liked the Benroy.
So we have decided to build a tiny trailer very similar to Rik Keller’s Road Toad.
My question is on axle location, I plan to have the trailer built again around the design of the Road Toad the weight in the rear is going to be approximately 230 lb. less the weight of the cabinets. Just to list what I will be carrying in the rear galley area to help understand my madness, two deep cycle batteries, Atwood furnace, 5 gallons of water, 20 lb. propane tank and a cooler.
Up front in the tongue box I would like to add an air conditioner. The air conditioner weight is 50 lb.
So will this work, and if so how far back should the axle be mounted? The length of the frame is 14’.
Thanks for you opinions.
Jeff.
