That looks like the perfect size for a jeep, would our mutts fit as well?

Same here! That is awesome. Looks small enough but also ample for hauling. Great find Ralph. I saved those pics being that I live about two and a half miles away from a custom trailer builder named Magnum Trailers. They can build anything and oddly enough their prices are pretty ok. I don't have the room for something like even this toiday, which I hate to admit, but if I had the room I would jones for that trailer for sure.

That is the exact size trailer I was looking to buy for hauling my Opel GT and very soon Mutt. Anyone have the builder or specs on this trailer?

Hopefully soon to own a Mutt

A Mutt will not fit a trailer made for or will fit a MB/GPW because they are longer, wider and heavier. For the foremost I dont trust a single axel trailer to haul a vehicle with.

Also with a 2" ball you will need a toung wieght of 500 lbs. + or - that your asking for trouble some were down the line. With a dual axel trailer you have extra precations to adjust the toung wieght as well they are more balance when you have have a flat which a single axel is not balance and becomes unstable with a heavy load.
