Aluminum toad towing

[vandave]

Anyone use an aluminum trailor to tow their toad?

They work great! They may not work for everyone if you have a heavy toad but a motorhome with a low tongue-weight restriction (needs 10% TW for stability). I like using them for my rafting trips because the rafts ride on the trailer for the ride down, 2nd van rides on the trailer while we're one the river.

The other downside is most campgrounds will make you pay for an extra parking spot.

That is true, and that is one of the reasons I would like to have an aluminum trailer (or trailor). Another good point is that all trailers of that size (at least in this state) must, by law, have brakes on all wheels. (MCA 61-9-304)
The primary reason I do not have one is price and availability. New ones are (for me) budget-busters. Used ones are still pricey, and difficult to find, at least around here. I could buy a late '60s/early '70s VW bug for a toad cheaper than I can get one of those trailers!

I would, but a dolly is less expensive, smaller, and easier to handle.
Next spring, I think I will find a good used steerable dolly.
