Thule Trailers
Your Thule is exactly the same as mine, I purchased it from Cabela's in Nebraska, and the ad in the catalog said, "Some assembly needed." You got that right, it came on a pallet with only the main box intact. Everything else that you see, lights, signals, top, axle, wheels w/tires, and frame had to be put together. The ad also said that it was water-tight, Nope! I had to waterproof mine with threadlock on every nut, bolt, nook and cranny, also used a material called "Lexan" to glue/caulk every hole, every crack and cranny. Came away with a 99.99% waterproof trailer. Now I have to sell it due to some unexpected bills, we used it only twice with great results. Hauled in across the high passes of Colorado and part of Utah, never had an issue. You are right though, it will only carry 800lbs of whatever (you'll find the weight restrictions on the inside of the trailer frame), but that's also a lot of stuff. All of the camping gear for 1 male, and 3 females including two labs! Love the trailer. I hope you keep yours, as I have not seen but one other one in the Colorado Front Range in 3 years. Happy Hauling!
Here is my new Thule Trailer... just picked-up on Friday. Will use for camping and runs to Home Depot, etc. That plastic lid comes off. Tail-gate drops down. Not the most rugged trailer... but certainly not planning any off-road trips with it.
Quality looks great... it's light weight. Says it can haul 1,200 pounds... but I don't think I will that much.
