I narrowed the trailer to the narrowest I could and still get my power chair into it. It is 28" wide and 34" long and the seat folds down to 28" tall. Another advantage is that where the wing goes it will go.
Yes on lengthing the tongue. It was done to stabilize towing. There is a formula and it has been posted on here. I simply moved thetongue as far forward asI could and welded a bar across the frame to weld thetongue for strength. I also thought that if I needed to balance the trailer with the chair in back with the longer length I could simply add some weight at the hitch and the distance from the axle would give me the balance without having to add more pounds. However the whole rig was perfectly balanced with about 20 lbs tongue weight.
I have pictures in the gallery but cannot get them to jump to here. Using the G does nothing. It must not like Windows 7.
