ABSTRACT:
A removable attachable suspended trailer device for providing additional luggage capacity for vehicles on a temporary basis. The suspended trailer is constructed of light weight material providing a frame to which are attached a number of parallel strength members. The central strength member attached to the frame also has a means for connecting the frame to the towed vehicle. The suspended trailer additionally includes retractable support legs which are held in the upright position while the device is being towed so that nothing touches the ground from the trailer when the trailer is in use. When the towing vehicle is stopped, the legs are placed in the downward and locked position and the suspended trailer is disconnected from the towing vehicle. The provision of wheels on the legs of the device enables the loaded suspended trailer, when unattached, to be rolled to any desired location for convenient unloading. Because the invention is suspended from the towing vehicle, no confusing and difficult trailer maneuvering knowledge is necessary as the suspended trailer follows the vehicle wherever it goes. Additionally, the suspended trailer is simple to install and remove, easy to load, does not appreciably add to wind resistance and is easy to store once use is no longer required.
