The wife said Okay, I can Build it

[Brake Pad]

This is going to be a 3.5 ft trailer By 7 ft long By 45 inches tall

2 axles with 10inch tires. over all weight, 225 Lbs.

 

I'm in the planing stage

[Squidley]

This should be an interesting build to see, could you humor us as you go along with it and post the progression

Yeppers. Ive been thinking this one out for a while

[BigBear]

Brake Pad;

 

Looks "interesting"...Will this be constructed of fiberglass or aluminum?

[Carbon_One]

Due to it's size I'm presuming it'll be a camper of sorts. Right or wrong? If it's going to be a camper then will it raise up for additional height inside?

Just curious is all. Good luck with the build and like Squidley says keep us entertained.

The main frame will be metal the walls framing will be both wood & aluminum

walls of light fiber wood, and a 1/4 inch foam insulator board

the slide sounds interesting. something to think about

Sounds like your gonna need dual rotors on the rear of the Venture to stop it safely...

[Brake Pad]

Its not a big as you think. My other trail is 202 lbs empty, and I've had it loaded as much as 550 lbs ( Not that i would do that again)

This trailer will be 8 inches taller and 2 ft longer

Electric brakes?????

311 pounds, 40"X40"X7', 8" wheels, no brakes, works wonderful. A twin mattress fits in it.

I'm not just yet sold on the 2 axle idea............................

Maybe on the straight-a-way it will pull great, but take off in a turn will pull/tug the scoot.

Hi jack here but I'll probably be upgrading my last post on the topic after Tuesday, Maybe after Thanksgiving day

I have to agree on the extra "push" that the dual axles might give. It will surely want to go straight. I think the bike might be heavy enough for dry rides but I sure would be creating a "leather funnel" while riding it wet.

I like the concept though..keep us informed.

Don't let ScootBob see this he wants to build one too!

 

Is this a concept or do you actually have drawn-up plans for it? I also was toying with building another teardrop but more of a camper style like what you have shown.

 

Good luck on your project and keep us all informed. Pictures are good.

You need to page down to near bottom of page when it opens to see inside and outside photos..

Thanks Eck.

I have seen that before. He had the start to finish story posted somewhere and it was real intersting reading as far as I was concerned.

A little big but it works for him.

The man sure has talent.

[Brake Pad]

I went out today shopping parts for the trailer. I think the best option, is a small sea do trailer, less the arm pully and support pads.

so far Im looking at 312.00 dollars for parts, Not including the build

[Brake Pad]

looks like Im going all wood body with a fiberglass over lay & paint:cool10:

Cool Beans!

Looking forward to the build pics

Got to agree with Beer30. Tandems have to scotch sideways in a turn. hook your pick up to a tandem axle car trailer or some thing. then get out in a parking lot and turn as hard to the left as you can. then look back over your shoulder and watch how the tires on the trailer react. the slower you can go the better. Intrstate and good Farm to Market roads should be no trouble. But when you get to where your going and have to do slow speed stop to stop manuvers I am afraid the extra side load on the hitch may cause some real concern, read dificulty staying upright on the bike. Thats my 2cents spend it wisely. Edit. I do like the concept and am interested to see how it goes. And apoligize for the tone of this post. I have never been acussed of having tact. Probably why I had to make Technical Sergeant 3 times.

From the short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyal?

a leather funnel tells the tale of a horrbile execution.

I spoke to alot of guys that pull trailers, over the pasted few day, and they all, tell me not to go that route, They say to run a 10 to 12 Inch tire, with alittle meat on them instead. I will honor your advise. and heed your warnings. Thank You.
