Lightweight Trailers For Your Current Vehicle

Camping isn't exclusive to owners of fifth wheels, RV’s, and toy haulers. There are plenty of ways you can explore the great outdoors without breaking the bank, and by keeping your current vehicle.

If you're a solo camper, couple, or new family these lightweight trailers might be for you! Since these trailers are typically smaller, it makes them easier to pull on off-road adventures and a lot easier to maneuver.

There’s been a heightened interest in budget-friendly, easy to use rigs which has made for a lot of options on the market that you can most likely tow with your current vehicle. 

Bean Stock Trailer

This trailer shares the same construction and refinement as the other Bean trailers, but is a lighter, more cost-effective option for someone who wants to save weight and/or dollars. It has the same one-piece fiberglass shell and composite side walls; the same torsion axle and frame as the Mean Bean.
