Abstract

A towed vehicle is towed behind such recreational off-road vehicles as snowmobiles and all terrain vehicles (ATV's). The vehicle has a body that is rotationally molded of low density polyethylene. It has an outer shell mounted on a vehicle frame and an inner shell suspended on the inside of the outer shell. The outer shell peripheral wall is formed to provide some resiliency to cushion the inner shell. The suspension of the vehicle includes a trailing arm and a one-quarter elliptical spring biasing the trailing arm away from the vehicle.
