>>1410844>towing>small carhaha god damn. here's an idea: instead of spending 400 on getting a hitch installed for you tiny car that's only rated to tow 1000 pounds anyway, you get an suv or a truck that's actually designed to tow things.
why use the wrong tool for the job?

>building it yourselfyeah, unless you're a real craftsman with a garage full of tools, you're going to end up with a real pile of shit. you probably won't even get it past the homemade trailer inspection to get a tag for it.
the lighter it needs to be the more specialized materials and tools you need to use, too. tiny houses, which are build using conventional building materials, are heavy as all fuck. it's not uncommon to see them built on a triple axle trailer, which you almost never see otherwise except on the beastliest of beast toy haulers, literally designed to carry a small car or a few motorcycles inside of it.
so your choice is either, get gud at diy and sink a grand into tools, and then still produce a shitty little coffin on wheels that is basically a /mattresscarrier/ anyway with no toilet or room to stand up, spend a shitload on a prefab teardrop which is still shit, then spend money getting a hitch installed on your car that was never actually designed to tow anything
or just do what normal people do and get an suv or truck if you want to tow something. why reinvent the fucking wheel and/or use the wrong tool for the job.
everyone in this thread seems to want to do shit the hard, expensive (time and money), cramped, shitty way that requires lots of tools and experience rather than the cheap, established way.
it's not hard, asshole. people have been doing this shit for 70 years. truck/suv + professionally built trailer. it's how it's done.
