Little Guy 4x7 Deuce Teardrop Trailer

I like the little tr7 myself

This is just me. I think the weight limit is due to wheel bearings and swing arm bearings. 100 hp plus is enough to pull a trailer. Other problem would be with the slipper clutch on SE5 and SE6 units. If one does not keep the clutch locked up above 4000 rpms this would spell big trouble. I have seen a SE5 unit all burned up due to running with a trailer below 4000 rpm. Just saying. Good luck ya'll, I never could stand to have someone tell me I can not do something. :cheers:

Yeah, I dont like people telling me I cant do something sometimes also. I will spend alot of money repairing something just to prove I could do it. Just shows I'm not the smartest person around. But then again, I do remember my mom and dad telling me that when I was younger.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

SpongeBob, I have to thank you for pointing me towards the Micro-Lite brand of trailers. I've been in contact with them and this may just be the better option for me! :thumbup:

According to the pic below, no need for me to be a trailblazer.:clap:

Tear Drop trailer

Here are two more options, I love the MyPod but it,s the tounge weight is to heavy , but the Tear Drop is ultra light and is a very good option. One of our club members brought it to one of the meetings to show and tell.

This one's less sturdy but a WHOLE lot lighter....

This one from Miller definitely shows some potential. :thumbup:
I guess that you've just got to get around the pricing... :shocked:

Then there's this one! http://idahobedroll.weebly.com/ Be sure to watch the video.

Maybe you could be the first to buy a production model. Quite a few links come up with a Google search on Idaho Bedroll.

That is just too cool for School! :clap:
Do you know if they've gone into production yet?

I haven't seen an answer from him about that. Use a tarp I guess.

For anyone interested here's his comment back about production and cost when I posted a question on his Facebook page.

Idaho Bedroll Still trying to raise the capital for the first run. MSRP $4800

...And I sent a message to his from his website... :thumbup:
Let's hope that he answers at lease one of us!

Seems like they're not quite ready for primetime.:helpsmilie:

On the other hand, Micro-Lite seems to be a solid company that understands our market pretty well.:thumbup:

I thought I'd toss this one out there, Jim at Gunlake Paddlesports who is a distributor for Micro-Lite has one or two TWIST TR 7 trailers at a discounted rate. Seems the dealership hasn't picked up the units so they were offered up at a decent price. PS..Nothing in it for me, just a great company to work with so far.

AC for $3865.00

I ran across this trailer today. It was an experimental in the UK, meant to be towed behind a mobility scooter, so it should be light enough to tow behind a Spyder. My only concern would be the size of the wheels.

:shocked: Doesn't CruzrJoe tow one of those, to use as an Outhouse? :roflblack:

That thing IS tiny. You're right though; the wheels and tires might be the weak link in the chain.


EDIT: I see that they have it limited to a 5 mph towing speed... :gaah:

 

[TEWKS]

They received my deposit so the build is on! :thumbup: If Jim can get me some pics as it takes shape, I'll post them.

Are they going to move the axle forward a little to reduce the tongue weight a little?
