Gen Benroy 5x8 Red Trailer

Postby BillZ » Tue Mar 16, 2010 7:48 pm

I am ready to begin my first build and because of my inexperience, I am going to follow the generic Benroy plans. The Red Trailer it recommends for the build is twice as expensive as the harbor freight but the Harbor freight doesn't offer a flat 5x8. Is the Red worth the extra dough? are there any other options without deviating too much from the plans?

Good luck on the build. I found a 5x8 on harbor's site.

I guess you can use the ramp and extra part as some sort of luggage rack.

Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
