Family adventure trailer

[DangitDad]

The departure angle is high on this design-it always looks like the axle is a little too far back though? I’m not sure how it will feel when it’s loaded. I half half a plan th put a removal mounting on the back to take my sons crf125-that will surely add some weight to the back- do you have a build thread for your trailer?

No thread yet but will try to get that going soon...

I don't think your axle is too far back. Not much worse to tow than a tongue-light trailer. Of course keep your GVWR in mind, but I can't imagine the tongue weight on your trailer being more than a few hundred pounds.

And I can affirm your thought that putting a dirt bike hitch-hauler on the back will balance things. I did that on my first teardrop build and it worked well. Let's just pretend I did it intentionally... :)

Thanks- your affirmation is greatly appreciated-there is room to move the axle forward if needed ,but it matches the woolly bear where it is.

some more done to the roof rack

I thought I would have some fun with the tail lights-




they’re not very practical but they remind me of this below which has to be a good thing



i have been pricing up some pre-made locker doors-for the 5 I need I will have to spend about £3000, so I think I might make my own
