I know this has been brought up before but let me say up front I am looking for something that might end up rated at 6-8K. Not planning on hauling super loads, just want something to move long lumber or piping when needed around the place, and maybe the wifes Honda if anything ever breaks. I have 2 neighbors that have built super heavy ones (from scratch. One from FREE steel), one is a certified welder, so technical help will be available for the asking. I will be making mine into a goose neck because I absolutely love the maneuverability of goose necks.
All that said, is there an easy way, when I look at bare RV rolling frames, to know what the factory axles are rated for?
One example is a 26ft dual axle, pull trailer frame. I will convert to GN, and shorten the bed to 16-18ft, might go 20, and move the axles forward, accordingly. I can get rolling frames under $500 like this, and my time welding is no concern for $$$ (retired).
The real question is the axles.
Thanks
