Observer
Are there any circumstances where a new, light weight, camping trailer build might include a torsion axle rather than a traditional axle with leaf springs?
My particular use of this trailer is for fairly modest use in fairly simple environments, extremely limited off roading and no rock climbing, carrying loads of gear totaling less than 500 pounds, with the trailer itself weighing less than 1,000 pounds.
One aspect I'm considering is the design angle of the torsion arm, to increase the cross tube height from the ground to increase ground clearance while running, perhaps, 15" wheels and tires.
