It's about 39" wide between the removable fenders, with 1 & 3/8" clearance between the tires and 2" angle iron. :thinking:

Click on the "Album" button below to take a look.


Kevin, whats the load rating on the tires and axle?
Keep thinking outside the box and all manner of ideas will become reality......

The rating on each tire is pretty standard for "cheap" 12" tires.

780 lbs. @ 60 PSI cold, rated tire, 4.80/4.00-12

I don't know about the axle.

I just saw an old web page with a Little Guy Rascal.
Less than 500# with 50# tongue weight, and low.
This looks very near to what I want. :thinking:

Did Little Guy discontinue this model?

:shock:

I just looked at the little guy website, and they still list the Rascal. Says 68" floor length, 88" inside length. Not exactly sure what the difference is, but if the bed length is 68", it's foir very short folks.

This one is only $5k, and has a 72" mattress. Would work for a lot of folks. Just not me...

:oops:

I'm a newbie, so sue me for being stupid. :lol:

Thanks for the info on the trailers.
I think the bed is longer than the floor with the front part of the bed curving up, but that's a good point.

Thats cool its a nice little town or it was 20 years ago. I still have some family that lives over there that I try to get out that way a few times a year to see. Good luck! on your TD hunt..
