How do carts work?

I'm a samurai and I figured it would be a good idea to kit myself out with a bunch of useful gear, and a cart to hold all of it and act as my character's home.

But there are no real rules for a cart, much less a wolf-sized cart.

Presumably my wolf isn't treated as if it's dragging everything along the ground, but how do the wheels alter the encumbrance? How much weight can my cart hold?

And could I have the rest of the party ride in the cart if we ever needed to travel somewhere at a forced march?

You mean like the rules for Vehicles?

There is also a cart listed HERE.

Be warned that gear within the cart would be considered unattended and would thus be vulnerable to area of effect spells like fireball.

Didn't know they were legal.

I thought I remember seeing somewhere that all vehicles were not PFS legal?

Aspel, just buy a riding dog and fit it with a pack saddle. Should be good enough.

That doesn't actually tell me how much the cart itself cuts from the encumbrance, though. Unless the cart adds 200lbs to what my mount is carrying and then can carry 300lbs of gear. Then again, I don't actually know whether my wolf's encumbrance is any different from a two legged animal with Strength 13, in which case the cart is actually something of a hindrance. Then again, if there's no difference in encumbrance, then just me and my weapons and our armour is encumbering Kiva.Nevermind, found that, Using the PRD, book, and an app to find things seems to be less helpful than you'd expect. Although my 88lbs is still more than his 75lbs light load capacity. That means with me on him, my mount takes a -3 to all his checks to jump and do fancy things that I need my mount doing :I

I thought this would be fun/good to figure out, but now I'm kinda wishing I hadn't put in the effort...

Of course,

The original question of the cart itself is apparently moot.
