[QUOTE="Mattlin, post: 56391, member: 1310"] I went a little light on my axle and spring set up I should have aimed for more like 4500 but its too late now. I am thinking the house will weigh between 3000 and 3500 lb so I will be right on the border. If i have to i can always swap out the spindle and springs for heavier ones because the trailer itself is built heavier than it needs to be. Also I do wish that I would have run the 3x3 all the way back but when I was designing the trailer most of the pictures I saw on the web only had it going to the axle pivot point. It is plenty stiff we put cross braces by the pivot point and it helped greatly. I did go with cheap winches and I already know that I will have to change them to ones with auto brakes because if they got away on you the handle would break your hand for sure. The way its setup now I wouldn't be able to set it up as a toyhauler it would be too much weight but I am fine with that. My plan is to set it up like a ice castle Perch palace like this. [ATTACH=CONFIG]2435._xfImport[/ATTACH] [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] What would the weight savings be if a guy would use some kind of water resistant paneling instead of pine planking, and is rubber roofing lighter than tin would be?
