    And so it has begun. Moving houses and tired of renting a trailer. So, it's gonna toss this together while I am out of town for work. It's going to be a cross between a camper setup, and a utility trailer. Short height walls, for now, gonna build a car rack to put my VW Baja bug on for transport. 3500# axle, my old stock wheels and duratracs for wheels.

    Aaaand its mobile! Just used some cheap mudflaps and angle iron as fenders, and it's just using a regular 2" ball for now, but that will get upgrades soon. Wanted to get it done rather quickly as I will be moving on days off, so having even a little trailer will help

    Well, what do you do if you have to move in the middle of your trailer build... Toss some boards up and make a mini enclosed trailer of course!

    Nice thing about moving is I will have a real life bonefied true and through garage to finally throw Sparks in. So I will actually be able to set up tools and welders and leave them set up. So hopefully I be able to get some more fabricating in.

    And rumor has it, the little dingleberry of a trailer pulls true at ~90mph and 20 mph crosswind, so I guess you can say I am content so far.

    Sometimes, a step forward, looks more like a step backwards...
