Which one of you build this trailer?

I doubt a GRMer built that, even those of us that don't pull trailers regularly know that the toung weight would be to high unless it was being pulled dump truck.

Now move the axle to the center, and GRM members become suspect.

Definitely not me! If I were building something like that, there would be a second axle under it

Yeah, those wheels are pretty far back huh!?

Yeah. With that axle placement it would be stable as a rock, but with some serious tongue weight. Perfectly fine if you're hauling it with a big truck and not loading it too heavily though.

Unless you are hauling spent uranium loaded behind the axle, that trailer is bad news.

In reply to NOHOME:

Who says it has to be depleted uranium? It weighs the same when it's still hot.

I've considered building that exact thing more than once. And i mean that seriously, i've parted out about 4 of those vans and have probably thought about it every time.

But i've thought about this a lot more.. And i have a 94 town and country waiting to be parted out.

At that point, I'd rather build one of these:

Must have a DynaMax or something up there to do all this.

Holy tongue weight batman! I think a load distributing hitch would be required if any amount of stuff was put in there.

Saw a guy put two Escorts together, facing each other. A hatch on each end and good wheelbase length, the front wheels must have turned or castered.

I can see that poor thing swaying down the road like a bowl of Jello. Tongue weight much?

That pic looks familiar The Car Camel is pretty clever, the back is on airbags so it can drop to the ground, unbelievably low load height.

Assuming you're referring to the trailer in the OP, it would be damn near impossible to get that to sway with so little weight behind the trailer axle. It would be very heavy on the tongue though. Most trailer designs place the axles as a compromise between tongue weight and stability.
