    Question Weight of the trailer

    Has anyone seen any info on the weight of the trailer. I have heard 250lbs empty with a total of up to 400 loaded. 250 empty seems a bit heavy for a non tent trailer type.

    175 sticks in my mind, but I don't remember where it came from. I think it was from my dealer's accessory catalog, back in September, when we were considering purchase. On the other hand, I could have just dreamed it up, or gotten mixed up with another trailer. Maybe your dealer can shed some light on it.

    Thanks for that. Sure seems heavy compared to other similar trailers! Doesn't matter I have one on order. Good to know the other dimensions too - I want to find a way to stack the trailer above the RT in the garage

    I have a Bushtec trailer that weights 125 lbs and can carry up to 250lbs.
    I'm having a hard time believing this new trailer weights 250 lbs.

    ....and we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride.....

    the devil close behind,.....we're gonna ride....

    That particular hoist has a 150 pound wieght limit.

    The published trailer weight (250) does seem high. I'll be curious to find out why when mine comes in.

    So at 44" wide the wheel track will be narrower than the front wheels on the Spyder so now that is 5 tracks to try to get around potholes & objects on the road - two wheels was so much simpler from that point of view.
