folding utility trailer
This is a little different. Folding utility trailer - but it folds up over its' own hitch. Says it is only 380lbs empty... seems light considering that supposedly is including the wheels and tir...
Forum Discussion
We had the privilege of launching our patented retractable utility trailer at the Springfield, MA RV and Camping Show last weekend.
My apologies for not explaining more clearly at the show, but I wanted to make sure that the forum on this topic had accurate information.
The retractable trailer, when being used on the road, is 380lbs, which includes the walls. However, when retracted, it actually only weighs 300lb, which does include the wheels and tires. It's all aluminum, and takes advantage of half-axle torsion hubs, radial tires, and lightweight aluminum wheels, which all add to its lightweight stance.
Instead of leaving the walls behind, we actually provide two ballistic nylon roller bags with wheels that fit nicely in the SUV or RV. I realize I need to shoot a new video to make that clearer.
And we totally agree that it is maddening to back up any trailer. But think about this. You drive into a campground, unload your trailer, retract it, and then back your RV with the retracted trailer into your campsite. Done!
And finally, the 2014 GMC Terrain that we used in the video, has factory standard shocks and no modifications or air shocks.
Our goal is to convert storage space into living space, making your travels even more enjoyable.
Aside from Emergency Evacuations, here are a few uses that we've taken advantage of:
Family Road trips
Emergency Evacuations
Town Recycle
Outdoors Activities
DIY Home Improvements
Landscaping
Traveling Sports
College Student Move-In Day
…to name a few
I hope this helps clarify...thanks everyone
