Martin,
I have no idea what your intensions are with your Bambi, but Joann's post
got me thinking. Be careful how much weight that you add to your trailer.
She is right that these trailers were not designed to carry a bunch of extra
weight around. From reading the posts over the years, one of the main
concerns with a Bambi seems to be finding tires that are rated to carry its
weight. I think that some people have resorted to larger rims...but be
careful there is only so much room in the wheel well.
A past member of an earlier version of this list loaded up the front end of
his trailer with a bunch of heavy items (batteries, converter, water tank)
and ended up breaking the frame after a couple of years.
