Oh, okay... thanks. I have since moved on and completed the trailer and have done several trips with just a basic 85 lb. load. Tomorrow I do the 24 mile round trip dog food run w/ same amount of weight of doggy food plus some groceries - load coming home should come in about 100 lbs. Pics of trailer to be posted in the 'post your trailer' thread later today.
