Piles of guys haul tire trailers with them without changing springs or beefing things up. MRT is not nearly the trail blazer nor in the unique position he seems to think he is.

i do find them interesting. i know they ought to be selling, as there's at least 6 different variants of that style trailer that i know of. though i've never seen anymore than 1 at any time i've gone camping. they're curious, minimalist, little trailers, but i'm much happier in a hybrid with a working toilet!

My idea of minimalist camping is when the high def satellite channels are not coming in and I have to watch the shows in standard.

Likewise here, our idea of minimalist camping is having to get a motel room that the name of the motel has a number in it.

I for one think it's a great compromise if it can be done safely, and it looks like it can. If you manage to go camping four times a year (and that's a lot for most), you still don't need the big hauler the rest of the time.

In a similar vein, I was looking at buying a beater pick-up for those rare occasions when I needed one, but wound up just buying a 5x8 trailer instead. Cheaper in every way, does the job when I need it, and I leave it locked up and out of the way at work the rest of the time. I tow it behind my wife's little Yaris.

Anyway, congrats on the setup though sorry it may not last.

'safety' is such a relative term.

in europe:


in america, few would ever even consider pulling a trailer of that size without anything smaller than a 1/2-ton full-size truck.

YA but it also the place where massive SUVs are "needed" to pick up groceries.
