My bad......The trailer I was thinking of had storage up in the "wings" not in the fenders..........

Yeah, that is Woodyperk's... don't know if the pic is in his album or if he made them himself. He was camped next to me, very friendly guy and his kids and friends were too, and helpful!
I seem to remember hearing him say he bought them...

And it looks like the solution to the problem of where to put my shoes.
OK - that's the next project...................................

If you balanced the "saddlebags" left and right and front and back, the extra weight would be balanced over the axle. It shouldn't affect tongue weight or axle location. It could also serve as balast to balance your trailer and achieve the ideal tongue weight if you loaded them unevenly.

Wouldn't two of these make a complete fender? You could put a little mud flap under it. Or use just one and fake the rest. They're about 8" deep. You'd have to reverse the hinge. ~$200

Looks like fornesto is one step ahead of me.
