Chevyman03SS Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 weight has alot to do with it more than size Well it is an enclosed trailer with about 40 peoples luggage i dont know the exact weight !!! What do you think that the max weight i should be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posi12Bolt Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 that wouldnt hurt a damn thing! I used to tow my car trailer (empty is 1500lb +) down the highway at 75 mph in OD... I doubt your little trailer would be anywhere close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion201 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Well it is an enclosed trailer with about 40 peoples luggage i dont know the exact weight !!! What do you think that the max weight i should be? I haul a tournament ready 20 foot bass boat with a 225hp Merc just about every weekend with no problems. I think that unless all the luggage is full of lead or gold bars you shouldnt have any issues whatsoever. Hell, even if they are full of lead your only talking a 10 foot trailer.
