Well, 3 days in the garage (counting paint drying times) and I have a welded steel framed "Radio Flyer" type trailer for my Mini. I get a lot of smiles on the road with this one. I have traveled across country with it and it's like it isn't even there. Joey

 

Cool! Where are the pics?

 

I'm trying to resize the pics now.... they are too big to be accepted. Joey

 

Here come the pics....

 

More pics of my homemade Mini trailer.

 

Joey, that is so freakin' cool! I love it.

What did you use for the hitch set up?

How much to make one for my Clubbie???? Please?????

 

Nice work................how fast is the trailer???

 

I got the hitch from Mini Do More (but don't bother getting the Valance or wiring kit from them) and installed it in about 1 1/2 hours total. You don't have to take off the tires or undo the wheel well coverings like it says in the instructions either. Didn't even remove the back tires like it also said I would have to do.

The wiring harness from Mini Do More was also bad so, I got a heavy duty one from the local RV dealer for half the price and sent the bad one back to them for a refund. The valence they sent just had a rough hole (hand cut) and I used a beaded wire split covering to dress up the hole for the reciever hitch above the exhaust.

Oh, the trailer is just as fast as my Mini.... Joey

 

Good for long trips and it also comes in handy for hauling stuff to the Beach. Keeps the sand out of the car... Joey

 

Wow! What a great little trailer! Love it!

Oops! Where are my manners? Welcome to NAM!

 

Total Costs:
325.00 Mini Do More for Hitch
240.00 Northern Tool for trailer frame in 2 boxes
49.00 for upgraded Blazer LED Trailer lights (local RV Dealer)
40.00 for Heavy Duty trailer wiring harness (local RV Dealer)
100.00 for wood, paint and clear coating for the wood.
_______
754.00 for a Unique usable Mini Trailer (my labor was free)

 

You might wish to consider becoming a vendor and selling that trailer to others, Joey!

 

that wagon is so freakin cool!!!!

welcome and nice color btw

 

Very cool trailer! Welcome to the NAMily!

 

*drools*

 

 

Too cool...and red stripes too!

 

I have been looking at that same trailer frame myself. If you look at Mini-Do-More's website you will realize the trailer they sell is the same one that is customer painted with diamond plate deck. I can do that part myself for far less.

Welcome to NAM and great job!!!!

 

Love it, love it, love it! Glad you posted pictures! It makes it so much cooler when you actually see it. Let me know if you ever start mass-producing them...or even producing more than the one...

 

NICE! And welcome to NAM. You fit right in.

CROC 411

 

That is so freakin' cute! I love it and your red sport stripes!

Swanky ride my friend! Swanky indeed!

Welcome to NAM and... let me know when you start marketing those trailers commercially... I'll be in your list of first 200 customers...

 

Let me join with the rest of the "droolers" and give you a big "CONGRATS" on a job well done!

Thanks for sharing how and what you used; it will save me alot of time & effort whenever I get my Clubbie - still waiting for production date.

 

Welcome to NAM.

Love the trailer.

Nice color on your MINI.

Three thumbs up.

Dean.

 

Now that is a nice trailer, well done.

Well done and a nice MINI too. Are those CR Sport stripes installed at the dealer?

Looks like a fun way to go to the beach and track days for a set of tires stacked up in the trailer.

Welcome to NAM.

 

Welcome to NAM. That trailer rocks! What a great idea and it sure has the cool factor. My husband also modified a Radio Flyer Wagon (the small version) with wood on the sides so that we could take our blind and deaf aging dog on walks with our other dog. Sorry no pics with our pup it the wagon.

I'll definitely have to show my hubby your creation! Nice work.
