Thanks all for the comments! I'm going to start making a single wheel trailer next week. Does anyone have blueprint type papers for a single wheel trailer they made? And where can I get a U joint hitch like this one?
TIA, Josh

I define them for me. You define them for you. I think of a cargo trailer as something to carry a heavy/oversized load a relatively short distance hopefully on fairly flat ground. I think of a touring trailer as something to carry a reasonable touring load as far as I want to go. But that is just me.

I posted this link in one of the threads linked to above. I think if I was to use a trailer for touring I think I would go with this one or something like it. I like the design of it best of the touring trailers I've seen. For general cargo use I would go with a two wheeled design.

My setup for touring. It works very well and will last a very long time.
