I built a camping trailer and towed it to Arizona

DUDE.

I SAW YOU ON SV SEEKER's CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE!

Nice work. I couldn't believe it. I take it your car is the 1NZ engine? I had a feeling it would do fine towing a small trailer. I have loaded my 1L up with hundreds of kilos and driven it up and down mountains for a couple weeks. These cars are tanks.

I really don't understand. Could you draw a picture?

Thanks zoidberg444! Yes, all Yarii in the USA have the 1NZ. And I agree, these cars can handle a lot more than people expect.

There are a few, here's one with my trailer around 31:20.

So, the little trailer was a gateway drug. I've now ended up with this.



Poor Yaris has been demoted from the tractor to the toad. I'll probably keep the trailer to lend out to friends, unless someone really wants to buy a totally custom Yaris-sized travel trailer.

It looks well done. You'd probably get a decent buck for it.

There's more demand for these type of trailers than you'd expect. I think it's because most people who want one don't have the skills to build one or the budget to buy factory built.

Thanks so much, grilled cheeseus! So awesome.....
