WTB smaller overland trailer for RTT in CA under 1500lbs

[scarstens03]

Hi Everyone,
My friend and i are looking for a smaller overland trailer. Something that has a inclosed cargo box or cargo compartments and the higher rack for the RTT. We are hoping to keep it under 1500lbs to pull with a forester at times where we aren't to far off the road. Any leads or other tips on trailers under 10k.

Thanks!

Scarstens, just a heads up, the scout is heavy. The dry curb weight on the scout is 1543lbs, so before you put anything in it I think it'll be over the forester's towing capacity.

Tkhawk, Thanks for the info. I have been looking at so many trailers I must have overlooked that. I thought it was coming it around 1100 lbs. Well that changes everything. Might start looking into the FSR trailers then more. I appreciate the heads up!

Hi there,
I'm selling my adventure trailer with adjustable rack and RTT for $7,995. Here's the info....https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/tro/d/tacoma-off-road-adventure-trailer-cvt/6846451449.html
Maybe this will work...just the weight of the trailer is 800lbs according to manufacturer specs, so the entire thing is well under $1,500 including the weight of the CVT tent.

Did you see my listing? It only weighs 800 lbs empty. Might be able to meet you part of the way...I.e. Boise.

Did you find a trailer?

I still have the one we re-freshed. We originally bought it to tow behind a Forester. Here are some pics, First one is from when we drove up to Bend, OR to pick it up; second one is when I was putting the Trex planks in; third, forth, and fith are with a iKamper Skycamp on it; last 3 is how it sits now (I sold the iKamp about a year ago). The rubber mat is in there to protecte the Trex when I was moving some metal with it.
