I like the look of your trailer.

Where do you live and what will be the weight of your finished dream?

Hi Again
I am set up in south west England in Exeter Devon
The last time i took a weight reading was when it was just the trailer frame and flooring and wheels and that was
40kg for the frame
60kg for the floor
20kg for the wheels and hubs
120kg ish so far
i will have another weigh in as soon as i buy another set of scales
My beetle will only tow 450kg on a good day i would like to come around 300kg or less
Then i would be not holding up too many people on the roads
