Default Slyder's Trailer Thread

Thought I would share an old trailer build. Have pulled this trailer several thousand miles with no problems what so ever. Maiden voyage was 6hrs in the pouring rain from my home to Sturgis and it didnt leak a bit. the total weight of the trailer loaded (and i mean loaded.....tent, bags, chairs, cooking gear, clothes, leathers, lanterns, food, ect ect and we still had room to spare) was almost 400lbs and it pulled like a dream. I used the lightest torsion axles I could find. The whole thing was powder coated for $60 at a local manufacturing plant. I probably have $300 invested at most. The steel came from the scrap bin so i only had to buy hardware, wheels, axles and lights.
