Seems like a solid platform for building a teardrop. Has anyone seen this in action? Thoughts? Thanks

The ability to fold offers no benefit for trailer use. I'd buy a nonfolding trailer.

I agree with 'Pmullen503', it would = NO benefit, in fact, I could also see that folding hinge point ending up being a "weak" flexing point in the future. (the whole 'frame' would be dependent on 'just' those two 'hinge' bolts holding it all together = a 'No Thank You' for me..... :thinking:

Thank you both for your input. Guess I'll stay away from that trailer.

I agree with the others, plus you can get the same capacity from an HF or Northern tool for less $
I ordered the 5x8 NT off Amazon for $850 delivered.
I'll be done when I'm finished, if that's not fast enough, take a number.
