Re: Chalet Arrow into a Off Road Arrow

Runt,

Watch the frame closely. These trailers were never designed for that heavy of spring set up.

I have one and love it, but concern would be the frame/trailer being bounced so much that it will start to come apart, especially off road.

I had thought about doing a stronger frame for mine, but it is just too old to consider it. Plus my roof is starting to sag. It is still a great little trailer, but I am afraid of what would happen if it was off roaded much.

Yours looks to be newer than mine. Mine still has the wood frame. I would guess yours has the inner aluminum frame. Wood will move, the alluminum will not, more rigid for sure, but easier to break with flex.

It looks good, and I doubt you will have any problems, just watch where the box is attached to the frame. you might replace the z members with box tubing to make it stronger. Just thoughts.

They are the neatest trailers ever made. It always amazes me how much room they have inside.
