To take it today for anti corrotion treatment and afterwords I will start painting.[/img][img][/img]

Looks like it will be strong for sure, but it might be a bit heavy? :thinking:

Hi Moki;
Thank You for reply. That base has about 100Kgs. I hope to do the rest in wood. I think that i will not get until the 300 Kgs, until thi weight I do not need to registre it and have a plate.

Where are you from.... Interested since you use kilos?

Thats a strong frame you have there for certain.. :thumbsup:

What make of car are you going to use to pull it? If your in URP, and it goes over 750 kilo you,ll need brakes added.. :thinking:

Do you have an idea as to which tear your going to build?

Mike...

Either French or Polish... Id say French... :roll:

But I could be wrong, the letter on the plate is sort of blurred..

You could possibly cut a few pieces out... the ones blacked out, maybe even the yellow one to make it lighter, but I wouldn't go any farther than that. It doesn't look all that heavy anyway, a 100 Kg = about 250 Lb...I think mine weights about 300Lb.....

:lol:

Hi;
Thank you for your inputs. Where am I from? Azores Islands - Portugal. Car plates either in Germany or any other EEC country are the same type mandatory since 1994. The Car to pull, is a Renault Kangoo 2000 CC Diesel. I have a normal trailler that I pull with 990 Kgs and my car can pull a maximum 1,250 kgs.
Micro - I will consider your suggestions, however the ones you paint black at front and back unfortunatly I have to keep them because those are the handlers that will hold the trailer static against the ground while camping.

Classic Finn;
What I have in mind to build is the following tear. I will have to make some changes from measurements from this original scale in inches to metric as my structure has 2,50 long by 1,50 large

Hi Finn;
You should know that there is a Charter Flight Operation during all year around from Helsinki direct to Ponta Delgada ( where I leave). We can see many scandinavians here in winter dressing like summer time. So, we never froze here. May be one day you will come here. Take care
