those of you who tow
so ive been thinking of getting a utility trailer for a while now, i really like the ones people make out of truck beds and found one super cheap
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/871811234.html
but im wondering, do those weigh too much? I only have the bumper hitch, but i have towed a loaded uhaul enclosed 5x8 before no problems and i cant imagine those would weigh more than one of these ... and i figure if i buy that one there eventually i could find a cheap topper for it and id have a fairly decent trailer.
Ive been trying to find an 8ft made out of a compact bed but dont see too many of em, figure a 6' compact is too small for my needs ... and a 6' full size would just be a waste

dude, b4 you buy a truck bed trailer, find a old boat trailer, fix it up (weighs like 200 lbs) and fix what needs to be fixed and put some boards down, by the time your done it will be the lightest trailer on the road, i just built onedown here, and after i was done it weighed some 300 lbs, and i was gunna just use it for scrap metal. lol

just noticed this post.
I know 100 miles is nothing, but i made the drive to the sacramento area couple of times to go look at stuff and it turned out to suck, and about 70 of those miles have to be done on country *** 55 mph farm roads which suck.
