Left work and headed directly to VT yesterday afternoon. Rolled into the driveway at about 10:30 after putting on about 300 miles, half of it with this in tow.
It's a 5x8 with a 2,000 lb GVW. Trailer weight is listed as 400 lbs so payload is around 1,600, depending on decking and sides. Has 5.30x12 tires.
Obviously needs some fixing up, but I only paid $160 for it. I have a bunch of 5/4 deck boards that were on my 6x12 landscape trailer for decking when I bought it that will work perfect for deck and sides on this one. Wiring needs to be checked out, hitch needs to be mounted properly or replaced with the correct one, and the leaf spring bushings are shot but despite that it pulled really well if a little noisily.
Tucks in behind the Golf pretty nice, only the fenders and wheels are wider than the car and then not by much.
It is made by On The Road, Inc. This is a small company in Warren, Maine that is a trailer distributor as well as manufacturer of their own line of trailers. This exact trailer has been made for years and is still for sale on their website, for $1,645:

Should be a very good match to the car when I'm done rehabbing it.
The Bosal towbar and lighting wiring with a powered converter fed from the accessory plug in the cargo area worked great.
