Weight

[ST*Clark]

I am new just joined. But I have been reading and exploring TD&TTT for information and insparation for my possible first build. I am curious with all the different sives and construction methods and options.
I pose this question. How much does your trailer weigh and how big is it?

I built an Escape Hatch, a squared off version of the O.W.W.

It was 66" wide, 10' long, and weighed about 800#.

I pose this question. How much does your trailer weigh and how big is it?

Two questions I have wondered as well! If I may add a third- how did you weigh the trailer?

Thanks!

Ours is 6X10 excluding tongue box, is loaded with goodies and will be about 1250#, Truck scale.

Mine's 4x8,,,,,used a bathroom scale under one wheel and estimate it at 500lbs....will take to truck scales to make sure as I need it under 750lbs so I don't need to register with dmv

40" wide, 7 feet long (not counting tongue)
287 pounds dry. used three scales, one under each wheel and one under the tongue jack and added them for a total.

Haven't re-weighed since I added the tongue box and battery; but I'm guessing under 450 fully loaded for camping.

I want to make sure I buy a trailer that is able to handle the load. Once I actualy deside on what it is I want. Keep um coming and thank you again.

I'm also curious, keeping an eye on this thread. I'm planning a 5x10 fully loaded with a box on the front. I'm planning mine around a queen size mat so axle loading and width is where I'm at right now.

Thanks,

Mine is ten feet long, four foot tall ( inside) and six feet wide, turned out to be a little on the heavy side, I used too much wood for the frame as I wanted it to withstand serious abuse on rural and mountain roads, turned out about 1640 lbs with gas bottle, six gallons of water, a marine battery and all furnishings installed/on board. ( I did not count food, as it may vary from trip to trip)

PS, you can tow it to a metal recycling place, they have drive through scales, take the total weight, go around the block, unhook the trailer, and drive again with only your tow vehicle, take the difference and that is the trailer weight...at least that's how I made it.)

Ours is 49" wide, 48" tall and 120" long (body dimmentions). We have a spare tire, battery and a toung box up front and the entire trailer weighs 1450 lbs. I went to our local trash dump and use the sacle they have.
