I can't be the first one to think of this and may have seen it in my travels but I always thought a good idea for a small trailer would be to put a wheeled tongue jack on the rear. Replace the wheel with about a cheap 8" pneumatic tire from Harbor Freight. This way if you got bound up in a trail or tight spot you could simply lower the wheel and shove the rear end of the trailer sideways. Short trailers are tuff to back up and light enough to move on a wheel. Is this a crazy idea or not and has anybody tried this with good results?
