neither one of those trailers are 16 feet..... think about this...... a camper without stuff in it weighs at the very least around 2000 lbs.... and to give you an idea on the length I have an open car hauler that is 16 feet in length... you can fit a full size truck with a plow on it.... If you do want an idea of the length go to a uhaul dealer and pull next to their open car haulers.. thats about a 16 foot trailer... those box trailers in that pic are the smaller ones... the largest one they have is a 6x12 and thats a dual axle.. the largest single axle is 5x8 and that one looks like the 4x8 that goes to 1650lbs max which is still more then the manufacturer suggests.... lets put it this way I wouldn't want to be near you towing that and especially if you get hit with a crosswind these cars are bad enough on their own in the wind.... just my 2 cents

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
