I too have the same trailer that you have and was not going to be able to use it for it's original purpose and was wondering if I could get rid of it to get a larger one to build a teardrop. How much did you put up in the front compared to what you added onto the back? Do you have any more pictures? I am really excited about finding this thread.

This thread is my inspiration to attempt a build on the 40x48 trailer. My plan is to extend past the trailer 1 foot front-and-back to get 6 feet, and my profile curves out a bit from there to give an extra few inches. Still, my 6'3" son has told me to have fun with it, but he won't be using it...
To get the minimum 4 foot width for two people to sleep, you have to build over the fenders, and KarenB & Co.'s frame demonstrates that quite well.
The trailer tongue needs at least a foot of extension to keep your vehicle from crunching into the trailer during turns.
KarenB, hoping you all are doing well now and winter proves to be a fruitful time tor teardrop-building...
