Has anyone built their own trailer??? I looking to build a trailer to tow behind my wing, something simple and low tech. After seeing so many trailers on my last trip - I'd like to try using one. I'm looking for a used trailer that is close to NJ, but no luck. So I thought if someone else has gone this route before, they would share plans, photos, ideas.

Thanks

Tim, go on over to the Trailer forum on this site. It's under the sub-boards. There is a lot of information on trailers and trailer building there.

Welcome aboard,

Most have built on the Harbor Freight frame and Tulle box. Quickest and cheapest way to go.

Some of us designed and built our own frames and some have even built the box. Not as cheap or quick as the former.

Followed these plans and made one just like it. Works for me just great.

Great stuff = thanks guys. I now have many ideas, this was exactly what I was looking for. I may even contact some when I start the build project this summer.

Don't know where you're located, but, there are a couple of nice homebuilts for sale on the FS board.

And with this, you are really starting to get a deal, and without all the work, although I had fun building it. http://dealspl.us/harborfreight-coupons/281833p

I don't know how far you are from NY State, but this one is located there. The frame is worth more than the current bid is and it ends in 11 hours. Currently it has no bidders. $99.95

I would suggest you go to some of the sites listed. One rule I seem to remember is the length of the trailer tongue in relation to the width of the axle.

Thanks for the coupon - I'm off to Harbor Freight to place an order.

Bill 52 mentioned something about tongue length and trailer length - does anyone know of a site to learn more about this issue???

thanks
