I've been looking at cargo trailers all summer after realizing how I hated hauling gear in an open trailer when I went to the NW Overland Rally. I couldn't take my big enclosed trailer to that event due to size limitations on the parking spaces at the event.
I also took a few other short trips (30 minutes away) and decided a small cargo trailer is a must, for things like portable generator, lawn chair, bicycle, etc.

Here's the open trailer I had, and sold in July.

6.5 x 12 utility trailer


Early December I stumbled across a 6x10 with torsion axle and brakes at a good price, so I bought it.
Here's the first installment of the upgrades, etc:

I didn't get it done last weekend. Maybe this weekend I will get to it.

A 6x10 is going to be a challenge to back up in to camp sites that aren't pull through.

It's not the ideal size, but having a torsion axle and brakes, combined with the bargain price, it was worth buying.

I kind of kick myself for selling the 6x12 in 2014, but at the time, I wanted something bigger and had fully intended to upgrade to a 7x14 shortly after selling the 6x12.

Not sure why the forum kept botching my links. I posted it and reposted it about 4 times, and they still were messed up.

Thanks for fixing them Bedlam. 🙂
