 19 Notes:

"The Low Rider"

With such a low center of gravity, this trailer would be next to impossible to tip over. Almost all the wieght is located below the top for the wheel. While this is a great concept, I have to wonder how much stuff still get strapped down on top. 

*second name choice "The Turtle."
