19ft Trailer Built on a 16ft Frame??

The fundamental rule in building any trailer is designing for proper axle placement.  In other words, use the 60/40 rule where 60% of the trailer and weight is in FRONT of the axle and 40% BEHIND.  Adhering to this rule will achieve a safe towing experience.  But, when the WRONG frame is used to build a trailer, it is impossible to achieve a safe ratio.  The Certificate of Origin now on file with the State of Utah Department of Motor Vehicles states my camper is a 16 ft trailer.  Yet, I contracted for and received a 19 ft trailer.  Why the discrepancy?  There is no discrepancy!  A trailer frame designed for a 16 ft trailer was used to build my 19 ft trailer.   CLICK HERE
