Today, I am walking you through the second part of my squaredrop trailer build by addressing the tongue and hitch of the trailer.
I am building a squaredrop trailer, inspired by @PlayingwithSticks and his budget camper. My goal is to keep total cost under $3500 dollars. This video is part one and is the initial frame building for the trailer.
Supplies and cost
60 ft - 2x2 square tube at .125in wall thickness - $450
3d printed threaded adjusters - www.thingivers...
50 degree A frame hitch - $30

Wow this is neat
Nice looking shop!
It sure is!
you may regret the short tongue. Likely your going to damage your tow vehicle when backing up, and the trailer will be very twitchy when backing up. For the want of one more crossmember.
Thanks for your concern. However, 3 inches will not make or break the driving dynamics of the trailer. And if it does I will be the first to come back on here and say you were right
