Customer Reviews for Karavan 5 ft. x 10 ft. Wood Floor Utility Trailer Kit w/ Patented Pivot Down Rail System

Even on any bad sections of the interstate, I was really surprised it handled so well, especially at or above the actual speed limit, and considering it was empty. It's the perfect size for all that I'll be using it for and I sure can't wait to put it to good use. It's really going to make hauling anything so much easier, especially because of its height and the fact that it's mine and I'll have no more headaches to deal with due to having to borrow someone else's to get what I need done for myself.

I have only owned this for 2 days but I have used it both days. I pulled it for about 400 miles the first day and it pulls great. It is easy to move when not connected to the truck. I wish I had read all of the reviews since you cant drive a lawnmower up the ramp. A basic 42 inch riding mower. Not a 60 inch zero turn mower. The back end is so high and the ramp is too short for you to drive the lawnmower up the ramp. Way too steep. No tie down spots. completely enclosed square tubing and ya cant attach a strap to. All of the "bells and whistles" are a mute point if you cant haul a riding mower. Wish I had bought a local, cheaper trailer for my usage …..basic home stuff. Wish I could have returned it. Make sure to read all reviews not just the first 2 pages... like I did. I guess I will put it on facebook market place and try and sell it for a loss. Pros: easy to move by hand. tows very nice even with a Nissan Frontier. Cons: Ramp is too short to drive a lawn mower up it. The paint on mine was already comin off in 2 locations. too expensive since I cant use it to haul a riding mower. No tie down spots... well 2 but they where not intended for tie down spots.

It’s perfect for the work I needed done. Already hauled 3 loads to the dump, took motorcycle and rider to the shops for annual maintenance, perfect size for my needs.

It is easy to pull behind my SUV. With the attached ramp, it is easy to load and unload everything.

Seems to be well made and excellent quality. A side mounted jack would be an asset so it wouldn't interfere with truck tailgate drop. The deck boards are placed a little far apart. Overall I chose Karavan over other brands because of ability to drop sides for loading and their well built quality.

Wow this trailer exceeded my expectations. It is built solid & is very easy to move around. The one fault is that the gate would be a little steep for a mower to go on with out scraping the bottom of your mower or the top of your trailer.

Great and versatile trailer.

I love the versatility of the trailer, how the sides drop down and are even removable. It is the perfect size for what I needed. If I could improve one thing it would be the length of the tailgate, it is a little too short causing a steep and high angle climb for things like riding mowers.

The only complaint I have, is the lack of tie down hoops

I bought it and pulled it home, about 15 miles. The first thing I did was check the wheel lug nuts and 3 of them were loose on one wheel and one loose on the other. NOT a good thing. Karavan needs to make dayum sure they are all tight !!! Other than that, it is a great trailer for the money. Really strong and well built.

The trailer is lightweight and easy to move around. It has cables that coil for storage rather then chains that hang down. The wiring is inside the frame where it stays protected, and the sides and tailgate all drop down for easy loading. Very nice! Would buy again. I put a Wheel Chock on it to haul my motorcycle.

you'll not find a comparable trailer that can handle this payload weight for this price, I searched everywhere, the gate could be longer and it's a little bouncy but it's well build and we'll worth the money,

Very solid, well-built trailer, no issues with the way it pulls with my pickup. I haven't tried pulling a very heavy load yet, but no issues with around 500 lbs. The built-in jack turns very easy and is a nice feature. The price is a little high for this size trailer, but compared to similar models with wood flooring it is pretty reasonable. A few issues with this trailer: 1. The back latch on the driver side is very difficult to open and close, compared to all of the other latches. It seems like it might not be aligned properly. If I need to lower that rail, I have to make sure to get the back latch first or it won't work at all. 2. It would be nice to have some hooks or something else to attach tie down straps. On the front I can use the triangle that has a light, but a few more on the trailer would be useful. It's not possible to use the undercarriage for this purpose, so I guess I'll have to see about having some welded on. 3. The wheel well covers are plastic. Not a big deal, but they just seem cheap compared to the rest of the trailer.

Overall it's a good trailer. Bad things are, the plastic end caps come off all four corners of the trailer exposing the wires and the safety chain hooked are too small to fit a standard truck.

I love this trailer and it's ability to modify it to multiple configurations by removing the rails and ramps to make a flat bed, plus it is constructed very well with the square tubing construction instead of the traditional angle iron, the pipe top rails are a plus as well. A-Frame tongue no sway.

The only real problem , is that the trailer has no tie downs. Home Depot sell ratchet straps with a flat hook on them. You can hook them on nothing on that trailer. Nor can you hook any other hook on there except under the side rail connections. Other than that the trailer seems to be really nice.

Trailer jack sticks up too high above the tongue and too close to hitch. Tailgate can not be lowered without hitting top of jack.. A longer ramp would help to decrease the angle while loading/unload riding lawn mowers without hanging up. Need to place blocks under ramp to avoid situation.

Better product than I expected and the price was within my expectations!

Great trailer, but no spare, had to order rather than in stock, still waiting for it

Trailer is great. Purchase and official title transfer process (required in NC) is poorly executed. None of the managers in the store have a notary. I had to ride to the bank with an employee to notarize the title. Took two trips to a store that is 1.5 hrs from my house.

Have had this trailer about 2 months. This is a great little trailer; perfect for what i needed and with the drop down front rail i was able to go with the narrower trailer and still get the 12' length i needed. Added a front wheel (about $12) and this trailer is quite easy to move around by hand. i put in some heavier lynch pins in the tail gate just to make it easier to remove them but it's not necessary. Pulls straight and true, easy to forget it is there. Dropped the side rail down and had a 2,000 lb pallet of building supplies loaded, pulled perfectly. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a small but very versatile trailer.

It's a great little trailer for home use. There are a few things that would improve it. But it's functionality is great for the price range. We added a tilt jack with a tire on it and that makes moving the trailer around by hand so easy. I highly recommend anyone do that if they buy this trailer.

good trailer for the money

Very well built

These are great trailers. Very well made and well thought out. The way the sides fold down are fantastic for loading pallets. The tailgate is removable, the hubs are easy to grease, the paint is fantastic compared to others. However there is one major issue, if you plan to use this "landscape" trailer for hauling a lawn mower, the deck is way too high. The gate would have to be 6 feet long to get a normal mower loaded on a level surface. Just something to think about if this is your intended use.

This trailer is perfect size for my needs. It handles great on the highway , love it
