Yes, that one, thank you. Not sure registration will be easy if it has to be inspected but with a solid ply bottom, I'd be comfortable in or behind it. A ply-foam-ply sandwich base with wood around perimeter and at joints if any, foamie walls and roof, ought to be in the 200 to 300 pound range at 4x8.

Isn't there a trailer chassis design that is just a triangle? I might be able to swing getting help for that...

Thanks for the advice anyways, I was hoping to see how cheap and light I could get the trailer which is basically a bed on wheels. I can get it under $800 if I salvage a used frame, but I also still want it light enough that my car tows it without struggling.
