Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Kind of been looking online at cargo trailers for the soap box derby car, would like to be able to haul 2 cars (one on top of another). The problem I found is that no websites show the weight of the trailer. I am thinking a 5x8 or 5X10, 4 foot tall interior. Any thoughts on what the trailer itself would weigh? Figuring about 500-600lbs of cargo.
Thanks

I found those hard to find weights many times by googling (making a verb out of a noun) the brand you are interested and many times th e dealsers will post the weights.

If it helps, my 6x14 single axle, 6' 6" interior weights about 1750 lbs. maybe you can extrapolate an estimate from that.

Www.trailershowroom.com has a really useful chart.

Some of the websites will show you a list of 'spec's. The empty weight being, obviously, the bare bones trailer.
Gross is maxed out 'Loaded for bear"...
here's an example;

scroll about 1/3down

My 6x12 is about 1200 lbs.

Here is the Mirage site. If you open the specs tab you can choose a trailer size and see the weights etc. I know that this is only one manufacturer but it should give you a ball park figure.

I have LOOK 6x10 and it's 1000# love it also it is a V-Nose

Wow, that makes my CT heavy. I think I take mine to a scale and get it, weighed. I just used the wgt on my paperwork

Thanks guys. I was looking at dealer sights and not finding weights. My car has a recommendation for brakes on trailers over 1,000 lbs, so would like to stay under 1,000lbs. Been thinking of making my own enclosed trailer on a light utility trailer.
Thanks

My 5x9x5 is just under 1000#

7x12, 7' high V-nose
1550.

There is the issue, if you go to a manufacturers website (like Haulmark) they have everything listed you would need (total size outside, inside, weight capability, ect).
