Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I have a RedTrailer 4X8 and after reviewing the link posted by "bdosborn" believe it to have a max load capcity of 965 and GVWR of 1180 with 4.80-8 tires. My question can this be used for a 4X8 teardrop or should I not waste my time and look for something with bigger GVWR. Sorry for the long post but anxious to get started building and camping. :hammerhead:

1180 should be fine. A 4X8 teardrop that weighs more than that would have a serious case of overbuilders syndrome.

Asian is right, you shouldn't have any problem with that trailer unless you get real carried away.

Long post??? That's not even a good opening line around here....

Thanks that eases my mind. what about the tires, I was thinking I would need to change the axle to get to a size 14. Now to workout the final design so many to choose from. leaning towards the Benroy also saw a cd for sale here somewhere that sound like a good place to review :guzzle:

You can use 14's without a problem as long as you watch the offset.
I'd say this is the CD Steve Frederick's CD that you are looking for.
