While down at Brad Mayuers this past summer I was looking
at the very small trailer he uses to haul around cars. It is just
big enough for a 914. I asked about it he said he has had it
since like 1978, there were no tags on it I could see of who
made it. I have a 6 x 8 tilt bed trailer I use for hauling the
rider mower to the inlaws & moms, but it isn't big enough for
a teener. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Some time in the next year I would like to find / build a open
trailer that is just big enough to haul a teener but can
also be used for every day hauling. My only real restriction
is that it can't be more than 8' wide wheel to wheel. I really
don't want to make the gate wider in the fence. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

So...... for design purpose & baisc trailer hunting whats the
curb weight of a full dressed teener???

I have many trailers, but by far my most favorite one to two is the one that is perfectly balanced.


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I used to tow a 36' enclosed pontoon boat with my 73, 17' Datsun pickup. The trailer was designed just for the boat(as are most boat trailers). I could easily pick up the hitch and move it anywhere I wanted with ease, on a flat surface of course. It towed just as well. Perfect balance is the key.
