I need to pick up a trailer...I had the framework for one a while back but abandoned it in hopes of finding one with more steel than rust...
The way I see it any trailer will work for hauling stuff, so just a standard utility trailer full of gear will work.
Where I live, if I drive 30 min north I am not only in another county I am also in the woods.
My safe zone is 3hrs away, fresh water, hunting, fishing, lots of woods for shelter and firewood, cant be seen from the air...and it can be reached totally off road if need be.
It would take longer to get there that way, but it can be done.

Nope, has to be a cool, off-road trailer or a utility trailer with a soft serve ice cream machine mounted onboard.

It's all about priorities and style.

I had a M-101 trailer, it was to heavy and with split rim's I could not get tires for it because nobody could work on it.
New rims were $300 for a pair of used ones.

I can handle the tyres easily enough. As for heavy...the D1 shouldn't have a problem with it.
