Fotos always help.
The fact that the only suspension you have is the tyres, not good in my opinion, especially at highway speeds.
Recon every time you hit a bump in the road it would jar the ##### out of everything.www.lockwoodcanvas.com.au

If that's the case, then there's less to rust.

Yup, have to agree with that. And if it's a tinny then it's virtually a one piece unit where nothing can come loose. Originally Posted by Yonnee

Hey if thats all u are doing with it then, well theres definitely no need for springs. Hardly worth belting along at 100 kays for 1 km of travel.
As the man says, dump some air from the tyres if its a bit rough in the ride.www.lockwoodcanvas.com.au

Used to have a fold up 6 x 4 easy trailer, sold it to my brother when my hobbies and habits got out of hand.
