I'm pretty sure this was a GM accessory available only with the deluxe trim package. I'm a little surprised that my truck has one of these and two dome lights, but no glove box light. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd45/HomeCrafter/IMGP2190.jpghttp://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd45/HomeCrafter/IMGP2192.jpgHahahaha. I can't wait for spring and sunshine, I've got cabin fever. Lucy and Desi have nothing on my short-short trailer! The only time I really miss my pickup, is when I'm hauling garbage. Oh, and plywood. Although the ply is supposed to fit between the wheel wells, it does no such thing on my truck. Plus, you have to leave the doors open, and then get so sleepy when you drive..... Now, I don't have to! I just clamp on the bumper hitches of my one wheel trailer, and away I go. With the huge overhang (better than 9' hauling ply!) its easy to smash the windows out of mazdas that get too close when you make a right turn. Between the single wheel trailer, and the constant stream of smoke coming out of my tailpipe, you just can't get more attention than that while on the road. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 |  Do you know the name of the manufacturer? That trailer is very interesting. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | I bet it's a wooly booger to back. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,388 | Ha! Its connected to the rear bumper, on two bumper hitches. The single wheel is a castor, and spins freely. When backing up, you don't counter-steer, you just back up normal like, although it is weird to back a trailer without turning the "wrong" way.
My trailer is an Atlas. You can see all kinds of goofy trailers like this, at singlewheel.com | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 362 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 362 | I remember Sears use to sell the one wheel trailers as well.Larry

try thesamba.com | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,388 | My neighbours are big into VWs. It will be interesting to see their reaction! It is quite handy, though a bit of a pain in the neck to balance the trailer, and drop the two bumper hitches in place. One the rotten/soaking wet plywood is replaced, it will weigh half as much, and i think that will make it easier to handle. It is pretty entertaining to back it up, or to back in circles with a trailer!
