Original build sheet shows 2015 model year but trailer was delivered and is titled as a 2016 and we're the second owners. The original purchaser suffered an injury and was unable to use the trailer by the time it was delivered. It was stored indoors until we purchased in 2018 and titled it in WA.

I have been looking at trailers for about 4 months and never heard of Moby 1. Interesting History! I'd say the original buyer was lucky to have gotten one!

Bump for price drop. Haven't been eager to sell, but it's still sitting with no trips planned with it this year.

Yes, it's 2600lbs dry with a tongue weight of 200-280lbs depending on how you load out the forward boxes. Full tank of water adds ~350lbs and tank is behind "axle".

We usually travel with a 1/2 tank of water (18gal @ ~10lb/gal =180lbs) as ballast to push the CoG back a bit. Fully packed we run it at 3100-3500lbs depending on bikes/rack and how much we carry up top. GVWR is 5200lbs. We tow it with a 4.7L/4spd auto Land cruiser. Tows great and forget it's back there sometimes. I wouldn't recommend a V6 if you have any mountain passes you regularly cross though.
