The trailer I bought weighs more than the previous owner told me. I thought since it would still be under my towing weight of 2000 it would be ok. But after loading it and my car today it felt too heavy to me. The back of my car was lower. The trailer was suppose to weigh less than a 1,000 but it weighs 1500. Add what was loaded in the trailer was about 120 lbs. Then what was loaded in the back of my car prob added another 120 or more. Inflatable kayak, ice chest, dutch oven and a few other items. It would still been under 2000 but I did not like how it felt towing. I couldn't take my teardrop as silly me sold it a week ago. It sold within 4 hours of posting it on craigs list. Of course it is now on craigs list for double what he paid for it. Should of known what he was up to as he kept on trying to lower the price after we had settled on one. to the point where I told him to purchase it at the price we agreed on or not buy it at all. Then he kept on trying to get me to throw things in for free. He had spotted some camping equipment that I am going to sell in a yard sale. Want that for free, then when told no he would offer next to nothing. Doesn't hurt to ask but he would go on and on. What can I throw in for free.
Well lesson learned. But now I don't have a teardrop and a trailer that I will be limited on where I can take it to camp. I can take it to Lake McSwain as it is within 30 mile. No mountains for me. So I will need to sell it or find someone to trade for a teardrop or try to get a truck next year. The trailer is a 79 Plamor and really did look light. metal and paneling.
