We had a 1971 Travelaire 18ft trailer for our family of 5 until June 2012 when we replaced with a 30ft R-Vision.
The ants finally won the battle for the old trailer....
It was nice and full of memories, really heavy, well built, very ugly, and we loved it.
I tore it all down to the frame, axle, and wheels... now I'm converting it to a flatbed trailer for my UTV with racks for my Canoe and Kayaks. It weighed over 6000 lbs empty and without water, had only a single (very heavy duty axle) and 8 ply truck tires. My newer trailer weighs 6000 lbs when fully loaded with all our stuff, sits on two light duty axles, with 4 tires (that were B rated, but recently upgraded to C rated)
