its tough for a do all in the smaller footprint. i want something vagabond capable as well...

i have a feeling i will just be using a rolloff tarp deal on my car hauler for 350 bux and have to drag that big bastard all over the yard

but i want a medium trailer...

i was going to go with air bags....but thats a potential complication that may prove disasterous. i would need to keep more battery and air source power that the already heavy hydro dump system is hogging up....

Everything I've heard from those that have made a name for themselves in long distance overlanding discourage air bags because of the complications.

I have no idea what the off road crowd you typically run with has to say about them.

To me, there is just more junk to fail. While it might not be as flexible in ride, travel height, and so on, simple systems like a leaf, torsion, or the Timbren axle less suspension has less things to fail.

Me personally, I wouldn't go any bigger than a 4x8. That way the trailer isn't wider than the tow vehicle. You'll be surprised what you can pack into a 4X8 with 2 foot stake sides.

Any trailer is going to be an anchor, but a 4X8 with the right frame and some truck sized all terrain or mud tires shouldn't be too bad with the rigs you have.

While mine is not trail rated, I have had in on trails in the woods and on fire roads and I barely knew it was back there and backing up to turn around hasn't been horrible. The Rock N Roll hitch helps a lot towards that. You can swing the trailer right up to the bumper and the hich design doesn't have the banging or binding issue a lunette ring and pintle hook can have. And it's rated for 11,000#. So, not weak.
