Side project started....HF trailer "Teardrop"

@Ex-Calif.
I bought the hitch almost 3 years ago, & can't seem to find the place I got it from. Here'a a couple links to similar hitches, unfortunately, they're quite a bit more than I paid for mine.

@Old_Crow;
My trailer came with the 12" wheels, no modification required.

To the OP:
I apoligise for hijacking your thread, please forgive me....If I'd had any idea this would happen, I would have started a different thread.

No worries at all. I like having the thread move around a bit, that's how we all learn things.

Got to deck the small trailer yesterday and added a front triangle of decking by adding two 45 degree 2x6s screwed into the frame first. Stain will be put on before I build the stake sides and tailgate. Gonna put a small lip edge on the triangle area.

I like your triangle idea.....I may have to 'borrow' it!

 

[DeckArtist]

Cool, I am going to do the same thing on the teardrop trailer once I build it.

Finally got around to deciding how to outfit the storage on this little trailer. Decided on removable totes from Wally World....$60 for two delivered to my door. Here's the mockup, will be getting them "built in" and secured this weekend. They will remain removable, but will be strapped down somehow for travel over rough terrain behind the four wheeler.

Also wound up with an extra sheet of T1-11 that will be the subfloor on the 4x8 Teardrop, it goes on this weekend as well.
