I have some property 4 miles in the bush. I would like to build a hunt camp back there. The only way to get there is by rough ATV trail. I need to haul in all materials including lumber pieces up to 12 feet long. Therefore I need to buy a trailer that can do the job. I have been checking out trailers at http://www.atvwagon.com/1600utility.html Has anyone had any experience with towing a trailer behind the RTV? Any other trailer manufacturers I should check out? Do they tip easily?</p>

What kind of ground conditions do you have? Lots of mud? Hills?...</p>
I've looked at those trailers in the past but just can't see the "bang for your buck". At under 4' wide and just a tad over 6' for the cargo box, it's not that big. Weighing in empty at over 500#, it's heavy duty but you're dragging a lot of extra weight behind you.</p>
I'd consider something with a bit wider and longer bed (maybe 5x8'). This will allow you to lay your plywood sheets flat in the bed.</p>
Craigslist normally has a lot of "woods trailers" on sale. They often have car tires on them, probably home-made but priced at $100 or less, they work good and it's something you don't worry about getting stolen if left at the hunting camp.</p>
Another thought is to buy a new 5x8' from Tractor Supply or other store. Rip off the lights, maybe get wider tires for floation... and you're still at only 1/2 the price of the trailer you posted about.</p>
