Custom Trailer for my Buggy
The trailer I've been using to haul my Sandrail is big and heavy. It was much more than I needed. My fuel mileage was very bad as a result. I really felt the need for a change.
I built this from what was a tent trailer. It weighs less than 600 lbs. I narrowed it, lengthened it, and relocated the axle. The fenders are hand made from 16g. sheet metal. It's decked with 3/4" tongue and groove plywood. It's size, and balance specific for the buggy, but I'll be able to use it as a utility trailer also. It's also small enough to fit in my shed with the car on it There are several sand dune areas within 250 miles of me, and a few within 100. It will be nice to not have to drag the heavy trailer around anymore. The only parts that weren't recycled were some steel, the lights, and tires. I was able to put it together pretty cheap.
