I have two friends that have done the converstion your are contemplating. Some lessons learned:

- Be sure and calculate the weight of matierials you are going to use to support the car and include that weight in the total carrying capacity.

- Make sure the materials are well balanced...one of the trailers fish-tailed empty because the weight distribution was off.

- Call the manufacturer of the trailer and make sure the frame of the trailer can handle the difference weight distribution posed by a car (versus a boat). This is critical in the upfront framing supporting the hitch.

- Trailer brakes? Key.

- Insurance. Make sure you let your insurance folks in on your conversion. You may not be cover if you have an accident. There is often a clause about, "for use other than intended by the manufacturer".
