Trailers again

[Ken Blackwell]

John,

I have an Aero Express, BX 185 Constantine, MI 616-435-6905. It is a 
custom made very very light trailer on a light chassis as you suggest. 
Alum upper frame with RV type aluminum covering. It folds open along one 
side. The bed is 6' wide by 10' long by approx 36" high. These are 
custom made and you have to pick them up in MI....or nearby arranged 
location.

One thing to consider in selecting a model trailer.....Most U-haul type 
trailers have very stiff springs for hauling heavy loads and tend to 
bounce around too much when loaded with feathers....or model equipment. 
So when one is looking for a trailer....the overall weight and spring 
size are very important considerations.
