I have wanted an enclosed cargo trailer for some time , it would serve two purposes , to haul my bikes and to store them as the garage seems to be shrinking lol
My dillema was , that with a small 4cyl truck the trailer would have to be to small to be usefull
That all changed this fall when I traded up to a full size truck , 5.3 v8 with trailer towing package
hmm that opens up lots of possabilities lol
So I started looking at new trailers , yikes they sure are pricey $7k to $10k and the used ones are not much cheaper lol
The next option was to design and build my own.
What I came up with is a combination of cargo and toyhauler
I found a travel trailer frame for $400 was a 26 footer but prev owner had chopped it with a dropped rear section , it was going to be a car trailer
Today I chopped it even more lol
My final size is 17' 3" x 7' 9" w , with a total length of 21'
then I started sheeting in the floor , wow it's going to be huge lol
