A while back I bought a motorhome to tow my model A around. That's all fine and good, but I don't need the space and I don't want to maintain another engine and drive train. So I've decided to start looking for a lightweight trailer that a Model A can tow and can also be towed with a modern car.

I'm currently debating between a tent trailer like the timeouts, aspens or lees ur lites and a small hard shell trailer like the rangerunner, my mini trailers or star city adventure city deluxe.

Here are things I'm looking for: under 800 pounds (I'm tweaking my engine, but expect to have 50-60 hp and cruise at 35-45mph), trailer brakes if over 500 lbs (old car brakes need the help), kitchen or ability to setup a makeshift kitchen, room to stand up (can be an attached side room tent), heating and cooling or the ability to add it (will be used from ~35 to 100 F)

Do you guys have any recommendations or experience with these? Thanks.

I'm not much help as my T@B is around 2,000 lbs. but here's a photograph you might enjoy.

I'm a little late to the game....I am an owner of a "Campinn" trailer --- beautiful, and I would always recommend them. https://www.tinycamper.com --- their workmanship is second to none.

I'm not sure what weight you are looking for, but I would imagine as light as possible. Even thorugh these are light (1500 or less)

Camp-inn also makes a line of ultra-light campers, they sell under a different name. https://roadtoadcampers.com/

These are incredibly light and most of all robust -- the owner (Craig) apparently pulled on behind his jeep for nearly a year to see how it would hold up. After a year he had no problems to report. Keep in mind, these are made in central wisconsin --- so the conditions it found itself in were anything but "perfect"

I've bought 2 trailers from these guys, and if anything happens to my newest one --- I can say I'd be ordering a 3'rd with absolutely no reservation....
