I am interested in trailering in the future as well. I also missed the trailer until my buddy told me about it. If you PM me your email address, i will send them to you. I am a computer dunce and dont know how to resize or post them. Cheers, Marcus.

I an earlier thread there were some mentions of adapting a glider trailer. These trailers are fine tuned for light loads and fragile cargos. It would be interesting to know what Dick VanGrunsven is up to on his trailer project but as a glider pilot it would not be surprising if he goes this way.
He might could even offer it in kit form. Like, a riveted enclosure, light aluminum construction. You know, sort of like building an airplane. Would also make it easier to ship, not have to drag it clear across the country empty to a customer say, in OK.

Looking at the picture, I do not see the point of the double axle. This tells me that the suspension is probably tuned for a gross weight way over what's needed for the RV-12 with the consequence that it might be too tough for a 1320 pounds load. You do not want that every bump in the road be equivalent to a bad landing
The dual wheels have 10 inch tires.
A single axle trailer would have much larger diameter wheels and they would stick up where the wings go. It's also a problem for sailplane trailers if the box portion is wide...
If I recall correctly, the heaviest duty 10 inch tire would barely hold the empty trailer at its current weight. I would suppose the tandem 10 inchers are not for ride, but for load capacity.
