Take a look at this trailer on ebay please and tell me what you think. I don't have a problem with it not being covered as I have a couple ideas.

It would cost about twice that to build it, if you did the welding yourself. i would jump on it if I were in the market for another trailer. $285 is a great price for an assembled light duty trailer, providing you don't have to go too far to get it. Anything over 200 miles and I'd ask him about delivering it for gas money.

Looks like a deal to me. I like the tire size, they look a lot bigger than you'll get on most economy-priced trailers. And the fact that it is an open trailer means you can use it for a lot more than just pulling on trips. Heck, take it to Lowes and use it to haul home your next water heater!!!

I'd say pull the trigger!

Nice trailer, but it still hasn't hit reserve....

not even a bid, last I looked.

But the Buy it Now is only $285.

Don't mess around and lose it for a few bucks if it's something you really want.

My bad. Didn't pay attention to the BIN. At $285 it's a steal....

Thats a nice deal.

 

I did notice that the tires are a little more to the rear. Would that lead a heavier hitch weight?

Buy it now seems to be gone. Be sure you want an open trailer because if you get caught in the rain and don't have everything WELL protected,.............everything WILL get wet!

 

If the open concept appeals to you, then go for it, seems pretty well built. Not too heavy, but not light either.

 

One thing to keep in mind, that trailer is built with most of its load space, and the cooler rack well in front of the axle. That means that unless you have some heavy stuff to put in back, you will get a higher than normal weight on the hitch. You want approx 10% of the total trailer and load weight on the ball, and that looks like you will get 30% or more! and that could lead to overloading the rear tire or suspension. Especially with the spare tire mounted where it is.

 

Personally, I would spend more money and get an enclosed version with better suspension.
