PM me if you want me to build one or if you want to buy the parts. I just noticed that and was checking back in to report that out... Doesn't take long for the weather man to change his mind. I might make it out. Still thinking. I'll give you if I decided to go. Interested in trailer material also.

This particular trailer started life as a small boat trailer. I shortened it, relocated the axle, placed the axle above the springs to lower the trailer, added some brackets and such to mount the box, tires, and a place to mount our canopy. The trailer was also completely re-wired with new lights, and the wiring was ran inside PVC tubing to protect it from damage from foreign objects and UV rays from the sun. I don't have the spare tire mounted yet(there is a post for it on the tongue you can see) and I have not painted the fenders yet. Otherwise the trailer is complete and works quite well. I've pulled it up to 75mph and it pulls straight and does not bounce. Here are a few more pictures of the trailer.
