Man this is one lively forum! Being used to the Mini sites I was expecting something like maybe max. 10 posts to the whole forum in a week..
I sure wish that I wont let you down on this..
Classic Finn, what kind of chasis did you use on your teardrop? I was thinking of buying some old trailer and building it on top of its chasis. They should have some weight rating on them and this might help when taking it to be checked up?
Good Morning
My chassis was made by a company in "Pohjanmaa" 150cm wide and 2.40 cm long.. with straight axle.. here is a pic ..The rims I purchased from a friend of mine that handles coker tires ...
and the fenders I ordered from the States from RW Johnson in California. They came over by slow boat..
If you can find a nice old frame or old trailer that certainly will be easier however you need to have it change build inspected or in Finnish Muutos Katastus.. and yes the weight rating should be found on the trailer itself.
Also the old trailer should or could be registered already that way you can avoid the new Eu Trailer Towbar change that came into effect Jan 2007. I had to cut away the towbar and get the Eu approved towbar which is identical to the one I had... but with no Eu Approved stamp to be found...
I can sure give you assistance on this beauracracy as you know that we have here.
Best regards
Classic Finn not Flying
