Title: Custom trailer hitch (now with trailer pics)
Post by: blarneyman on April 19, 2011, 08:30:18 PM

I've been working on this trailer hitch over the past several days. It's going in my '69 beetle.

I'll take a couple pics when I get it bolted in place.

I'm in the process of building a 4 1/2' by 8' teardrop travel trailer. I'm hoping to keep it under 800 pounds. Not sure if I want to tow it with the bug if it goes over that.
