I'm about to pull the trigger and join this fine community in building my first TD. I was originally going to go 4x8 and then decided that since this TD is for my wife, 4yr old (Will be 5 by the time the TD is done) and myself, I better go 5x8. Then I got to poking around for a cheap/good trailer and realized there are none, and so I'm going to have to fabricate one. At this point I'm wondering if I should just go 6x8.
My logic is this:
1.) Budget already blown on having to fabricate the trailer and going 5x since 5x is non-standard material sizing. The additional material that would be wasted would easily get me to 6x for the same cost as 5x.
2.) More space for the three of us since this boy is going to keep growing.
3.) Possibly more accommodating to additional winterizing gear since we plan to do four seasons in the Rockies with this thing.
Does anyone have any additional thoughts on the 6x8? Costs/Benefit?
Thanks!
Mat
