Just about ready to bite the bullet on a Mean Bean trailer.
Little on the pricey side maybe. But I think we'll get good use out of it and we really like the build quality.

I see others here pulling 2000lb± trailers. So I'm not too worried about the 3.6l handling it. But does anyone have one of these? We go to some rugged trails, and this will need to be durable and able to take a beating.

LOL.
I guess no one DOES have one of these.

I did place my order. I'll be the guinea pig. They look pretty sturdy.

Looks like a great little trailer; be sure to post some pics and your towing impressions when you get it.

I really liked the one-piece fiberglass shell they use. No leaks..

It's going to take them a couple of months to build, but I'll definitely share my thoughts when I get it.

The new trailer in the middle of build.
Looking good!

I am eager to hear how you like the Mean Bean once you get it out on the (off)road!

Seeing your build reminded me of my own little Scad-A-Bout teardrop that I had in the mid-seventies through early eighties.

Picked up the trailer. Very impressed with the build quality.
Very happy with the towing too. We got about 20mpg in the JLUR on the way from Phoenix up to SLC. And about 17mpg on the way back with the trailer in tow.

Looks like fun. Exactly the type of camper I would pull.

Looks so nice, gets expensive in a hurry. It almost makes me want to tackle making my own trailer, but I'm sure it would end in a disaster.
