Title: Utility/camping trailer for gear Hauled and camping
Post by: FishWorks on September 14, 2017, 06:55:50 AM
Decided I want a small light trailer to tow and haul kayaks and camping gear. Looking for any trailer with at least 14" wheels (no 12's please), a 2in. Tongue, and with a rack on top or not. I'm looking to camp with it to. The picture is pretty much my idea of wat I'm trying to have and do. Let me Kno wat u got.

If you haven't looked at this site: https://tventuring.com/ you might want to check it out.  There's a lot of information in the forum about how to upgrade the wheels on small trailers - and from what I've learned on my trailer adventure, upgrading a trailer to 14' or 15" wheels can save $$$ over the cost of any trailer with OEM 14" wheels.

While that top one looks cool, I'll bet it rocks like an earthquake. New utility trailers are the way to go. You can add on real easy. Good luck amigo. If you want to do some welding mods I can help you. Just gotta come to Petaluma though. Cheers.

How much are you looking to spend? I saw a jeep trailer recently near Lodi. Not sure if it's still available but could look. Once I get a little time I plan to post my trailer build in the DIY section. Might give you some ideas

There are three or four on CL right now.  Oddly enough, I find them when I search on "kayak trailers".  Are you ready for sticker shock?  They don't come cheap.

Looks like you could fit 2 yaks under the tent, maybe get an extender for the back.

Cute but for that price buy a truck canopy and build a nice enclosed over the kayaks or gear under and rails on top for yaks.

Actually, I think I'll do a YouTube video of it as it is now, and then another once I get a few or more of my planned mods done.

Mojo, can you add a few pics I sent you that show the kayaks can actually be carried on the trailer over the tent?  Maybe the one showing towing with everything lowered down, and the other with the kayaks above the opened tent.

Thx
