It's the 12"-tired trailer that they sell at their retail stores.
This one was priced on sale at $159 compared to the similar one at
their online store that is $179 on sale and $239 normally. There are
a lot of manufacturers of similar-looking trailers and I'm not 100%
sure that the online one and the store one are the same although they
both carry the same part number.
The one I looked at had pretty small and cheap-looking wheel bearings
with no caps compared to the larger capped bearings on the 4x8
trailer. I'm considering going with the 2575-0VGA model they sell
online as it's rated higher and appears to have the axle off the 4x8
trailer.
What speeds have you trailered at? To get back from Kansas to Seattle
takes two 15 hour days of driving, much of it at 75-80 mph.
