[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Cargo Trailers? Yes/No? Recommendations

[Northforker]

We are currently full time 5th wheelers and while that is a big downsize from our sticks and bricks, the truck camper is a much smaller unit.

We are going to buy a truck camper for 4-8 week trips from our base to adventure/fishing/hunting/hiking spots that the 5th wheel would not be ideal for.

We are trying to decide whether we need a cargo trailer for bicycles, small gas grill, kayak, fishing gear, portable black water tank, extra clothes, backpacking gear, extra cookware, extra canned goods, small chest freezer, etc.

I like the idea of being a minimalist and being able to go wherever the 4x4 truck will take us, however, I also realize that getting there without any of the toys/tools necessary to enjoy the destination really defeats the purpose.

I'm thinking a 7' x 12' as the MAXIMUM size, it would be even better with a 6' x 9'.

Two axles ride better on rough ground?


So, how about some advice???

I think the trailer is a great idea. I pull one sometimes with my bike on it. Also some of the things you discribe. Even firewood. As far as size, just have to figure out what all you want to take with you. I like a single axle trailer because unhooking it and moveing it around is much easier.
