I need a bigger trailer for my new SxS, as well as other duties and I'm tempted to build exactly what I want/need rather than buy one.
Basic Wants-
Long enough to haul the 1800lb vehicle with proper tongue weight
Deck over so I can load material on it with a forklift
Single axle for maneuverability
Brakes
Basic specs-
6'4" wide, ~13' long incl/ ~2' dovetail
Deck over
Rub rail
6k axle with brakes
3x4x3/16" rect tube frame (because I have a lot of it)
2" ball
~34" deck height
Benefits-
Does everything I need
Fits in single car garage sized space
Building stuff is fun and cool
Room for boxes below deck
Drawbacks-
Effort
Deck height
Weight, could also be a pro
Stupid, unnecessary layout with $0 resale value
Weird specs, right? But I haven't found anything close to doing what I need.
Talk me in or out of this, please.
