    I wanted to solve a couple of problems with the stock attachment of the Bantam Civilians:

    • Short tongue makes the trailer hard to back up - especially in the RV that this one will often get towed behind.
    • Short tongue also makes it hard to haul long stuff like 12’ boats or 18’ lumber - the trailer is too close to the tow vehicle.

    • The trailer will get stored outside and I’m concerned about theft.
