Trailer has been sold. Admins please remove

I have the itch to start a new teardrop but need to sell this one to make room in the garage. Its a 5X9 Benroy that I completed in the fall of 2017. We have really enjoyed this little teardrop and had it out maybe 6 times over the last year. We took it on several weeklong trips to the Smokies and everywhere we went people had to come see it. The red is a real head turner.

The entire build thread is documented right here on TNTTT

Custom trailer frame with 3500 lb Dexter EZ Lube axles

This thing was built right and no expense spared and it shows. No disappointments here.

Nice looking trailer. What size are the tires? What size are the frame members? Is there enough structure to add roof racks without any problem? I am just down the road a bit (off 840) and may want to look at it. Thanks.

Thanks Tube999

205-75/R15 inch true trailer tires. I had BJ trailers in Lebanon build the trailer frame. It is their TLC "B" model without the sides, floor and gate and built at 9 foot long instead of 10. I also had them add trailer brakes and breakaway switch when they built it.

Specs from their page
3,500 lb Axle
•2" x 3" x 11 Gauge Tube A-Frame Tongue
•2" x 2" x 11 Gauge Tube Top Rail
•2" x 2"x 3/16" Angle Cross-Members ( I had them use 2x2X11 ga for all cross members instead of angle iron)

AFJ - A-Frame Jack



I had all intentions on putting a roof rack on when I built it. I just never found one that I liked and my welding skills are not that great so it just never happened. It would support a roof rack for sure .. with limitations of course .. I wouldn't load 500 lbs up there but would hold a kayak or bicycles for sure.

We are in White Bluff and would love to show it off to you. I will PM you my number.
