Starting my Trailer

[AlStAubin]

Well I have a trailer that I will start with. It is a little bigger then planned but it was free. I also have the option of trading it for a red folding trailer for the same price free!! This one is 7'5"lx6'5"w. The floor will be pulled up this weekend to see if the trailer is going to work for me or if I am going to trade. Will this size be too heavy? Tow vehicle will be a Jeep Liberty.

Should be good. I've towed larger than that with a 4 banger Ford Ranger.

I think you should be fine also mines 6'6" x 11'6" on a pop up frame and we pull with a mini van, just don't do like me I built a rolling tank, build light I think if I was to stat over I could carve 700+ lbs off mine, but it still pulls great with almost 5,000 miles on it.

Thanks for the info yes I am going as light as possible. trailer getting strippd Wednesday/Thursday pics to come and decision if I am swapping to the 4X8

Got delayed on strippin the trailer because of a week of rain and I have to work outside. Was able to look over the trailer today and decided this one will be it. 4x8 is just to small for me and wife. After looking at the frame I will be doing some welding to reinforce it but bones are there. Side rails are 2x2 angle with a cross member in front of and back of the axle. Axle sits towards the rear and think it will be in a good position. Issue is that there is no cross support at the fron ar back of the angle out side frame. Also the tongue is bolted to the frame in front of the axle and once I remove the wood no other suppport for it. Time to go find some steel.
