Round 2 toy hauler
Posted: Sun May 15, 2011 9:52 amOur trailer http://www.mikenchell.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=683813&highlight=#683813 got hailed on in a storm last fall. We made out pretty good after the pay out/getting to keep it and then selling it. Surprisingly we sold our old trailer in 20 minutes of posting it on craigslist!
So on to round 2...
We spent countless hours online and in person trying to decide what to by and looking for the best value. Trailer prices are skyrocketing right now. One trailer we were looking at went up $2000 in 30 days
so we finally pulled the trigger on a in stock model that will suit our needs vs exactly what we wanted. We didn't start out looking for aluminum but after looking decided it would be a good idea if we could swing it being the weight savings would most likely offset the weight of one of our bikes. A 7' wide trailer would have been easier to shed weight but it just looked so cramped compared to what we were use to. Were hoping to gain 1mpg while towing 
Doubt it will happen but rolling lighter and with a wedge front it can't hurt.
Its an 8.5 x 23 aluminum trailer made by Neo mfg. Plans are to wire for 110 outlets and lighting, 12v system, stereo, insulate and finish the ceiling, install windows, add 1 set of bunks for now, flip down gaucho.
Here's some picks

Here's some picks
Insulation done on one side and walls back up. Got the window in the nose in just need to make a spacer trim ring for it to finish that off. Wired up 2 outlets and got the hose ran for the gravity fed sink.
