Good thing for me then, that I have some 1/4 aluminum plate hanging around somewhere should I feel the need to "improve" on the weight capacity of this thing....and looking at it closely now, I think I might. The front rivets have no washers on them, and have already begun to pull through on the plastic.
Now I am not happy. Sending an e-mail to Croozer asking what's up with this.
Ah, a flaw in the design (pardon the pun). What do you think about the stability? I thought I had a good feel for engineering a trailer but my first trailer was quite unstable. Ever since then I've been suspicious of trailers that have a bed at the same height as the axles.
I also sympathise about the lack of attachment points. The more the merrier. Bungee cords and trailers go together like strawberry and cream.
