Looking for ideas on building an off road trailer, super soft suspension, same track as defer, run 235/85/16’s and be easy to launch the ski.
Was chatting to Sea-Doo and they sorted fluffed around a tough trailer design running 32’s
I bumped roverrescue’s thread as I like the idea of air struts, given the defer runs air bags on the rear I’m comfortable with air suspension.
Figured air struts will give good clearance with the ability to dump the air for launching.
I guess the boring option would be super long leaf springs
Hit me with your ideas
Can we assume the tyre size is the same as the tow tug - given how logical you are?
Like the idea of a jet ski (yes we have water in the west), and also a long term fan of air suspension.
If I recall there is at least one AU caravan manufacturer that takes that route?
