Does anyone pull a single wheel trailer with their bay? I am picking one up this weekend to use for camping/shows and all that, I was wondering if anyone has pictures or experience mounting one on a bay?

Are you getting the Allstate trailer with 2 mounting points?

Yeah 2 mounting points, here are some pics:

I assume you already looked at the few articles that come up searching single wheel trailer? one of them references the armstrong site or advertising/manual and there's some good info in those posts.

Here's a photo of the single wheel trailer I purchased. Next I put the box on it
and drill out the bumper for the mounts.

We have about two years and 2500 camping miles on ours and what's been said above is all true. You want a slight downward angle to the trailer and for sure you want a bit of drag on the rear assembly. I grease her up about twice a camping season.

I was able to get a spare wheel and bearing set at Home Depot! I guess the same setup is used for heavy duty wheelbarrows. I always carry the spare wheel with tire and bearings with me in case of road repair.

We couldn't camp without our beloved little friend!

I got around to lining up the trailer to measure for the brackets today, it is going to look good! I also took the time to Hurculiner the entire inside of the trailer so it will be very tough for hauling stuff. Can't wait until I get it on the road.

The one in the video looks a "bit" shakey I would say. I wouldn't want to camp on the beach in that with the winds blowing in.

Finally got around to making some mounts and hooking up the trailer last week, here are a few pics and a video of it in motion!

Thanks!

I figure if we host it off site and I deal with moderating the NWS stuff (photobucket won't allow it anyway), it will work out well. I wish I would have saved the pics from the old thread, oh well :roll:
