Smallest gear trailer

[Swayzeexpress]

I'm grabbing a eurovan after the pop up sells and want a small trailer to keep the van clean inside. Anyone know of or have a decent gear trailer, small and light?

They make’em as small as 4x6 enclosed for cars. Even smaller for bikes

4x6 with a job box bolted on?

Sear's used to have one with one wheel. It couldn't have been more than 3X5

Something like this?

Neat, but would probably restrict access to the rear doors of a van.

I saw it at church camp one year towed behind preacher's car from Kansas I think
Hotrodders build small ones all the time

I got behind a 4runner with a 1 wheeled trailer the other day. It was 4 foot long max, enclosed, and had 1 swiveling wheel under it

similar to this

so what's the advantage here?

looks like a PITA for the hitch. Do you gotta balance that thing while you hook it up to both sides? Why would i want that thing pinned to my car and swinging out like I have a twelve foot overhang as opposed to a regular two wheeled trailer that pivots on the ball when I turn?
I guess I just don't understand.

How about the fact that theres a f'ing empty pickup bed directly in front of it?

well there's that too.

but other than a RV cargo carrier kind of deal I fail to see how the single wheel trailer offers any advantages over a traditional hitch/trailer arrangement.
unless you're absolutely incapable of backing up with a small trailer I don't see why.

Just more solutions for problems that didn't exist.

I made one out of an old Carry On.

Could be if the trailer is too narrow to see in the mirrors or short to see over your shoulder. I guess.

They make PVC for that.

Look up and watch Drag Week on Motortrend. Lots of cool little trailers.

This right here. Those guys are towing the most minimalist trailers behind stuff that has no business towing a trailer. Isn't there someone here that does the drag week thing?

 

[95stepside]

On that note, sick week starts today, so youtubes will be full of racecars pulling tiny trailers for the next week

Does HF still sell these?

My little trailer can't be seen behind my little car, still can back it up. Or just unhitch it and push it around because it's tiny and basically a wheel barrow.
I can see the use case for behind a motorhome or big gooseneck camper but why behind a pickup or car I can't understand.

Post 9?

4x4 trailer with a roof carrier on it?

In some states, a trailer that is under a certain weight and narrower than the vehicle towing it does not need to be registered. So maybe that?

Cause you don't have to back it up ever.
You can't see how that would be advantagous for a "tiny gear trailer"?

If I wanted a "tiny" trailer that seems absolutely perfect. Empty it would give you a "deck" for bad weather etc. when camping.

The little hf trailer is like two hundred lbs. Doesn't require a title here, but it needs tags.
I don't see that single wheel deal being any different. If it's got a wheel on the ground the states going to treat them the same here

Tag needs depend on state…

Seems like an answer looking for a problem to me.
