Im in the planning stages of building a small trailer, mainly for used camping along forest roads and easier trails
I have the basics of the thing down, but im wondering about what type of hitch i can use. i know a pintle would be best, but that is a lot more $$ than a standard ball, since i have to buy the ring, pintle hook, pintle hook adapter etc that i dont already have.
If i go with a ball type hitch, would a bulldog type coupler allow a greater range of movement than a standard coupler??? I want to do this on the cheap if i can, but i dont want to break any couplers out on the trail from putting them at too much of an angle.
Also if there are any pictures of any you have built, post up, im still open for ideas!!!!
