Folding Car Trailer
MakeEverything - 11/8/09 at 08:12 AM

Has anyone thought about a car trailer that folds up?

Ive been thinking over the past year or so, about how i would do this.

It would fold into three or four sections, and stow away on its wheels with the A Frame upright.

Any thoughts?

The difficult thing would be retaining strength when it is opened out.

Best / simplest trailer design I've seen was this one:-

I would stick with Guinness suggestion, as it's simple. and space saving if you can store the car on top!

Making a folding trailer might be a good idea but I don't think you will save much space compared with storing the car on top and it's going to be complicated..
