Thanks...for all those who posted about trailers...it's all YOUR FAULT, that I'm going to try my hand at building a pop-up camper to pull with my wing.
Yesterday I picked up the trailer kit at Harbor Freight. 40" X 48" with 12" wheels for $190.00. That was on sale and they took the 20% super coupon...wuhoo!
I want to copy this design that I found on youtube.

I won't use the hydraulics and I'm going to keep the standard HF suspension with one leaf removed.
I've built some kayaks with wood, glass, and epoxy so the foam and glass building technique shouldn't be too hard. I want to try for a shape something like the one shown below. My research however tells me the big end goes in front!.
Decisions I still need to make are how much to narrow the trailer, and how to include the cooler inside the aerodynamic envelope.
The trade-off I'm making is to spend more time and money to get a lighter trailer which is still self contained.
Wish me luck, this may be a long time coming, but hey, Its November and I won't need it till June.
