Totally agree. LOL.. I have a Harvest Right freeze dryer I got on sale at Costco last year. My 82nd birthday present to myself. A game changer in making trail food and snacks Freeze dry and package up food in vacuum sealed bags.. Great meals and snacks, almost no weight and worry about spoilage ,

well the small cooler bags are dangerous if not packed with ice. .Ha Ha cold beer...I like milk that does not need to be refrigerated. AKA Shelf Stable milk...first saw it in Europe. Over there you could pick the butterfat content...WOW! But of course evaporated milk can be kept unrefrigerated....evaporated condensed milk was introduced commercially back in 1864 ....Can you says "Gail Borden" Elsie the Cow?

Thats bad news, that should have been noisy running. Thanks for the update!

I like my 12v fridge/ freezer For packing stuff that needs to stay cold, Yes, they're expensive but far cheaper than ending up with spoiled food and warm beer.

Yep tongue weight should be around the same 10%. Tandem axles have a few advantages, like a lower deck height because you are using 2 smaller tires instead of one big one. But then you have 2 more tires to maintain. Deck over is the best use of space if you are going to side load. I love single axles, lite, easy to tow. Easy to move around. Just didn't work for me. I ran out of storage so enclosed when the best solution for me. Everyone's situation is different. Problem with any trailer, not just single axles is being over built, or buying too much trailer. The closer you can load a trailer to it's gvwr the better it will ride. Single axles will ride rougher in general, especially when empty, it doesn't have that second axle holding the first one down.

Personally I would get something with a manual trans like a kawasaki bayou for pulling at low speeds. Anything with a CVT trans, that is going to be hard on belts at those speeds.

Late to the party like always. So if your SxS is 10ft a 12 trailer will still not be enough for you to side load the atv. I started out with a 4x8 trailer for ATV, hated it. Could not see the trailer behind the vehicle. Bought a snowmobile trailer at auction for $100, Put new deck on it. Got another machine and started side loading it. But it was tight if either had larger tires. I have since moved on to a Thule enclosed trailer. Love it so much better. Tall enough to ride into, or for side x side. If we take the side by side we take one atv in the pickup bed. Otherwise it has room for 4 atvs. It is 8.5ft x 14ft. Aluminum. Very light, nice pulling trailer. You can move it around on the concrete by hand. It is aluminum, all of it. It is 20 years old and no signs of cracks or rot in it anywhere. Best part is, when we get home, atvs are already stored. LOL I prefer a lot of tongue weight, less chance of the trailer pushing the tow vehicle around. When you look at gvwr on a trailer you need to remember at least 10% should be tongue weight. So a trailer with 3500 gvwr, weighs 1500 pounds. Leaves 2000 pounds payload correct? actually not. 10% tongue weight would make payload 2350.

Great morning QC !! Off for a short ride then in to the A/C before it get frickin HOT !!LOL
