Does size really matter?

I found a 6'1" X 11'10" trailer frame today. There is 63" between 12" tires. It was a tent camper & has a lot of rails across the frame. It has torsion bar suspension & 2000 lb capacity. I was going to make floor with 1/2 treated plywood. Since my buggy is still in many peices I thought maybe you guys could offer some advice on whether my buggy will fit on it when done. My goal is for the buggy to weigh 1300 lbs. Thanks, Gary

I just bought a 6x12 trailer and put my manx on it and had some room to spare.

I have a trailer that is similar size. My front tries fit through the fenders but not the rear's. That isn't a problem since the rear wheels stay back anyway. You might measure your front beam with tires and make sure it will fit between the fenders. A question with a trailer that short may be axle placement and tongue weight. I have my axle a few inches ahead of the buggy rear torsion tube, and it works about right to give me a little tongue weight. If the axle is too far forward you will probably have negative tongue weight due to the balance point on a buggy being so far to the rear. Just something to consider.
