Lightweight Cargo Trailer Easier Tow & Cash Outlay

Crossing the country on the highway and your apt to see a motorhome lugging a cargo trailer. We mean "lugging," because most enclosed cargo trailers are so--well, durned heavy--it’s almost as much as a poor old Class C (or even A) can handle. And if what you’re trying to do is to haul a small load, who needs something that looks like it should be loaded on a cargo ship bound for Japan?

Enter the GearWagon 125 Sport Performance trailer. Light enough to be pulled along easily by an SUV, it may be just the thing you’re looking for to secure and tote your ATV. Described by its makers as "The modern version of a pickup bed," the GearWagon provides 125 cubic feet of cargo space, but feathers in on the scale at just 340 pounds. Mind you, you can’t put two ATVs and your mother-in-law in back, the cargo capacity here is 1,000 pounds. However, the company is working on a tent accessory--maybe you could put the mother-in-law up in the tent when she drops in for a visit.

Nevertheless, with towing capacities of some motorhomes down near sea-level, a lightweight utility trailer may be right up your alley--or tailpipe, depending on how you look at it. The GearWagon 125 with its optional "TwinRunner" lid set SRPs at less than $3,000.00. Visit the Let's Go Aero website for more detail.
