I have failed three times but am embarking on a fourth attempt to build this dream trailer of mine. I have discovered new ways NOT to build a trailer, and that I am mechanicly enclined..... I can screw up anything. LOL
 
Loquin, isnt a forest supposed to have some type of tree in it? That pic of yours is pretty country but me thinks it needs a new name, obtw Im a big desert fan.

That's what I thought before I moved to Arizona, LOL. I had other (apparently) foolish ideas, too, like rivers being more than 10 feet wide, and staying wet all year round. Asphalt NOT having a liquid state after it's in place. NEVER hearing a sentence that contains the phrase "Temperatures dropping" and "to 110 degrees" in the same sentence! Transporting prisoners barefoot, so that IF they escape, they can't walk on the sidewalk or street without actually burning their feet... You know - little things like that.

With this idea comes the question of power and what will a small cc motor pull......Id say you need 1 of those child pull behind trailers and then in that you could carry your camping supplies like a lite tent, cook stove, fishing poles or what ever. I dont think its possible to make a camping trailer per say due to the weight. Just my thoughts.
 
it depends on how much you weigh as well
I only weigh 145, so pulling 100lbs of trailer and grandkids still only hit 245
lots of guys here that size with engines pulling them just fine
if I was a bigger guy, I don't know how much I could pull
 
Here's the most practical minimalist solution I've found to the question. I've seen, and done a walk around, of one of these trailers, at a local craft fair. The guy who owned it said he's basically copied the design straight out of the website, using a folding camp cot from Cabela's.
