I ended up picking a treated wood Gen 2 GW series at Northern Tools today. They had it on sale for 899, It's a surprisingly nice little trailer. The Gen two has a removable gate (uses bolts, no longer uses grease fittings), led lights, more tie downs, a carry handle on the tongue, powder coating, and better 12in tires. It tows well behind my 2011 6speed manual Fusion. The gen 2 mesh is 350lbs, the treated wood is 400 lbs. The gen 2 gate is positioned to where the gate can lay flat forward on the deck of the trailer so theoretically I can leave it down to tow my canoes and kayaks using your end bar trick. The trailer in this video is the SPW series. It's a heavier duty construction with 13in tires and longer gate, at the cost of payload since it uses the same 2k axle. Their website says it is 550lbs, so the payload capacity is 1450lbs vs 1600lbs with the GW series.
Awesome design on the wheel chocks. I'm going to get one or two of those made up for my 5x8 Carry On Trailer. I'm glad I found your video and saw these. I want to be able to haul my DRZ 400 or KTM 450 EXC-F
Amazing how these have increased in price from 15/20 years ago before the metal price increase. I payed $385.00 for a heavier duty version 5x8 mesh floor with 15” tires and 3500 lb axle with tilt bed and no ramp
Thanks! Should be very similar. I noticed when I was shopping for this one, the Carry On trailers at other retailers seemed to have slight variations in side railing build.
Those tires look like the inside sholders are worn more than the rest of tire would indicate overloading or a bent axle. 2000 GVRW lbs does not mean you can load it with 2000 lbs you need to take in to account for the weight if the actual trailer itself, as for the tire pressure blaming TSC is moot because tire pressures fluctuate with atmospheric changes you are responsible for pre-trip on every adventure with a vehicle and/or trailer
