Alright, I will need a trailer. I hope to be home to get the race car running. That means I will need a trailer to be able to move it around. I made a deal with the bus to sell my enclosed 7x12.
I want to get to a 16' enclosed, but I don't want to buy what I want now. *fold down side wall tents, etc*. So I am thinking of doing an open 7x12 or so.
I could get a boat trailer. Or a small utility to use. I also built a table which is about 6x10. The car is 72x126 or so. Which is doable on that table easy. I plan to pull the legs and have the top left.
So, is it dumb to either:
A) get an axle and strap under that
B) mount an axle or hub onto a 4x3 section and make a lowering trailer?
How dumb am I to pursue building something vs modding vs spending a few hundred more for a trailer?
In reply to Thinkkker :
You have the fab skills to do it & not worry about it breaking in half on the first trip(unlike me). So I'd say it comes down to whether your time & the end result are worth more than spending a few hundred extra to go out & buy one.
I've done these mental builds many times. I begrudgingly can't get a trailer diy build to come out as any kind of $$ saver.
So unless the trailer you want is unavailable, the only reason to diy is because you'd enjoy the build.
But you probably won't save money.
