[QUOTE="AApple, post: 192475, member: 56"] I like the green one because of the color, and the larger diameter wheels. I do, however, have reservations about those skinny tire being able to haul a load at 75-80mph for any distance. They look like bicycle rims/tires in the pic. The one that mcgovern posted looks more like motorcycle tires. Also had questions aboot the hitch, but again, the one Gerry posted shows how that works out. All that being said, I don't think it would be big enough for all Mama's crap on an extended stay.... :blush: :hihihi: The car carrier ones would be large enough, no doubt. Harbor Freight also has the trailers in aluminuminum instead of steel, which saves aboot 20 pounds, according to the specs....but they are also more 'spensive. Definitely do NOT want one with 8" rims.....gotta go with [b]at least[/b] a 12-13 inch rim size. What I have read here is that those that install larger diameter rims/tires have issues with the angle of the trailer while hitched up, so then tongue/receiver mods are needed. Guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it eventually. As I said, I ain't in a hurry to do this deal just yet....just doin a little research on what is out there, and pricing. :thanks: [/QUOTE]
