I don't understand this. Could this be correct? I am not understanding the frame and axle. Image

We can't see what is above the plywood.

It's not to my liking as it appears to be bolted in 4 spots through, hopefully 3/4" plywood.
It may be okay in the long run as long as nothing catastrophic happens to one of the wheels/axles.
I can't see taking chances like this to save a few bucks on materials, less labor or to gain better gas mileage with less weight.
I would not want to be anywhere near this trailer while it's on the road.
In my opinion it would be best to mount or weld the axles to a steel chassis.

Even if there is structure above the plywood, the wood might compress at the inboard attach point and cause many problems, alignment being one. The wood does not look water proofed. The wiring job does not look like it is here to stay. Just me, but I do not like the looks of it.

I agree with all of the above. I would think a good pothole could almost bend the whole thing in half right down the center. :shock:

I went to the ebay site and looked at all the pic's
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teardrop-traile ... So&vxp=mtr

The seller has 100% feed back (78) selling women's shoes and women's lingerie...First flag
Description is very vague and almost seems to be in broken English...second flag
Looking at what pic's there are, craftsmanship, there is none.....third flag
Me would pass :)

Gosh.. torsion suspension with a half axle bolted ONLY to plywood has to be the worst nightmare to come. This should be parked and left!
