    Overland Boat Trailer??

    IMO what your asking is not feasible. Boat trailers are set up for easy launch & easy loading by the height of the trailers. To add taller tires, axle-less axle like a Trimbin would only add for problems of launching & loading the boat @ ramps. The boat trailer is designed & constructed for a...

    New Trailer Project: Range Runner

    Thanks, the 2 5 gal Scepter Water Can mounts will sit behind the tongue box on each side AT Can Holder - Scepter these are what I am going to use. I placed the tongue box in place just to see were it would sit. When I finished the tongue (starting Monday) it will be decked too with 3\16" plate.

    Runaway Campers....

    sorry to hear. I built my 1st offroad trailer (1st pic) a few years ago, but the wife & I are getting up in age 60's & late 50's. I done a ton of research on square drop trailers, I wanted a Hiker, but the 1 year turn around time when we called was too much. I looked at Runaway & Vintage...

    Runaway Campers....

    I decided to go with Runaway myself. I wanted the Hiker the turn around time was a bit much & that's why Hiker has the outstanding reputation they have. Runaway was nice enough to send me a video of their trailer builds (which I was impressed) & for the use for me & the wife, we run National...
