Looking for a pull utility trailer

[bshillam]

Very cool pictures of those trailers. I am looking forward to the build out on my trailer. I'll of course post pictures as things get completed. I figured this is a good foundation.

I just love the look of matching rims on the van and trailer.

Good luck bshillam!

Tips on wiring
I was thinking about wiring in power from the seven pin from the van to a relay. That way I can expand my pull behind add a battery, inverter, usb port, maybe a radio, etc. Anyhow, I am in uncharted territory and wanted to bounce some ideas off. I was looking at Amazon and found a seven pin that I would lead to my relay and than wire in the lights from there. Thoughts?
http://www.amazon.com/Conntek-10110-...=ATVPDKIKX0DER Four feet doesn't seem like enough, have you just wired it yourself with harness wire to relay than to lights and whatever else? Thanks for the feedback.

Also in addition to the trailer wiring which I think I'll run a seven pin to a relay even if I don't use the 12v right away it will give me room to expand.

On another note, I took all the ply off, scraped the rails but I was thinking a sand blasting might be in order. When building your trailer did you sand blast or used a sanding wheel, paper, and scraper?

[bshillam]

So far I pulled all wire, lights, plug and ply. All new ply, epoxy coated, top coated with enamel and new stainless hardware. All new wires and lights. I am working on building a top this week to make it weather tight. Here's a picture not a good shot of the trailer but you get the point.

Interesting thread, does anyone know of any manufacturers of a mid-sized (~5x10x6, 6x12x6), enclosed, off-road capable trailer; that might be modified for power and backup quarters ?

thanks,

Thanks Bronc,

Cute, but that's why the gods revealed poptops to the van mfg.'s,
to prevent hunchback.
I hope/expect to find just the HD chassis with enclosure, and then have do any power/accommodations mods myself.

2009 Schutt M1102 Cargo Trailer

I've looked at these. The bed is to small to accept a 4x8 sheet of construction material,
and $1500.00 won't even be accepted as an initial bid.

Probably going to have to find an independent custom fabricator and go for a new-build, to get a useable chassis with an enclosure...

From what I've been reading, there would definitely be a good market for a rough-road cargo trailer, if there's an entrepreneur out there somewhere

Only thing I've ever seen with hard sides & stand up room is something like one of these:

Not a cargo trailer
