Single axle trailers work great for small cars. Especially if it’s balanced you can’t beat it! However that frame is waaaay heavier than necessary! You do you but .120 wall tube would have been plenty.

He did say that after he got a "proper" tow vehicle, he was going to lengthen it and add a second axle...so I understand why he made it stronger than needed to begin with.
Wow, Awesome Job! I love your workshop. Peace from Maine.
Great craftsmanship.
I’ve been wanting to do something like this! With my experience in towed Artillery, I’ve seen how hydraulics are used to raise and lower wheels on the guns that are essentially also a trailer.

If you was to put the same thickness washers between one line and the frame on each end. Then when your lines are separated by a one washer thickness you know you spot on.👍

My suggestion. Get rid of the string. Go buy a cheap line laser. You can level it. Also use it to get center line as well as align up the pivot points with great accuracy. It's much faster.

....... Granted yes adding a second Axle would increase the load rating of the trailer it also adds to the stability of backing up with the trailer. though they are rare having a two axle short trailer does not actually change the requirements of what you need to tow the trailer based on the load. As long as you don't load the trailer to its full weight capacity(which I doubt you can do on a short trailer) when towing it with the Minivan you'll be just fine.

I'm at the 15 min mark and I'm hoping he builds in some pre-camber so that when the trailer/arms/axles/rims/tires flex, that the tire will flatten out rather than go negative. Most straight axles come with a degree or two of pre-bend/arch so that they ride flat with a load.

I have enjoyed watching this video and I would like to a copy of the plans also. But I would like to make a suggestion on the tongue of the trailer. When building the tongue for more strength of the tongue instead of welding it in sections like you did in part one may I suggest using one length of tubing to go from hitch to outside of frame back from front to third cross member welding to each one and the outside rail. This will increase the strength of the tongue for the load.

I like this but I wonder if the rope trick for squareness is potentially inaccurate because it requires the assumption that the tubes themselves are straight without warp. Or am I overthinking it?

I enjoyed your video. Excellent job designing the trailer. One issue though is it appears your welds are not full depth penetrating the full thickness of the steel. That will shorten the life of the welds and increase the likelihood of fatigue cracking. Be careful. You don't want a part of the trailer falling off while towing it.
Sure must be nice to have a million dollars worth of tools.

Oh my man, just wait until you hear about the newest thing -TRIPLE AXLE TRAILERS!
The second axle is so you aren't screwed when a tire blows, particularly if you are going to be towing with something lightweight. Lighter trailers are nicer to live with, though.

Try using annular cutters instead of traditional style drill bits you'll never go back
Oh, I consider the comment section the interactive part of all this. While you at it and you didnt ask but just let me say this. Go buy some quality, heavy duty shocks. Even air shocks maybe. Go ahead and fab in mounting points for the shocks. Carry the shocks with you in the tongues toolbox. Along with a nice fat bottle jack. In case of air bag failure or air supply failure you can just bolt in the shocks right quick and carry on with your mission. A plans are good. They aint worth a shit though if you dont plan for plan B and plan C. God bless and enjoy life my friend.

Haven’t seen your design on a double axle but it is a no brainer really. No need to extend your trailer by three feet either. You only will have to use two heavy truck airbags and do away with the existing ones.The rear tyres will have minimal gap between the front tyres.🇿🇦🇦🇺🇬🇪🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

Just a thought... Instead of paint, truck bed liner for durability? Just a thought , really like the build. I have a double axel trailer and hate dealing with the ramps for my Bobcat. I don't transport it very often, but I need the suspension to be able to carry the weight. But when I'm moving lighter stuff the suspension rides like a basketball (bouncing down the road). I thought about converting to air bags to be adjustable for load weights. but thought the time to build vs how often I use the trailer didn't work. But now you laid it out and you did all the design on how it should be done as opposed to trial and error. I like only to do things once, and the correct way. Thanks
