Honestly, I like the no-weld trailer, but if I did manage to make it for less than the trailer that I posted, the time and energy involved would end up being much more. I set up RSS alerts through Opera, so hopefully, I will see anything that pops up.

I keep thinking that if I could find a cheap hand truck with busted wheels it would make a great base. The height with hand truck wheels would be ideal, especially for hauling our three five-gallon water jugs, but bike tires seem like they would work much better.

Then there is the entire issue of whether I could pull it faster and with less effort if I aero-modded it!

Back to de-powering my steering. Hopefully sleep does not interfere further.
