Sure your Accord can pull it? It looks so big.

It pulls easier than the teardrop I pull 1000 miles each way to Oshkosh each year. The teardrop is 1350 pounds loaded. This trailer should be lighter. I have been keeping track of each sheet of aluminum I buy at 14 pounds a sheet. The refrigerator is larger than the one in the teardrop but only 20 pounds more. This trailer has a water pump, a water heater and a space heater that the teardrop doesn't have. There are only two pieces of wood for the floor and all of the cabinets are aluminum. When I get some time, I will update the pictures. I'm close to being done with the fabrication of the interior and then I will head to the scrapyard to have it weighed. I have towed it locally and it tracks and tows easier than the teardrop. My first trip is the second week of October for the Statesville balloon rally.
