Converting Cargo Trailers into TTTs

Greetings, new to the forum but I have been lurking around gleaning ideas from all of you creative people. I took the plunge after long consideration and many days of chasing deals from Craig’s List. I decided on going with a new 6x12 Load Master Single Axle w/Barn Doors. My rationale was this, for the few extra bucks I got a nice rig without the dents, bumps and graphics from a contractor that sold his trailer…. That said I also the height was a concern, my CT is 6’ plus and I can stand even under the light. I chose the barn doors as I need to use the trailer for multiple purposes and can back right up to doorways. To load my MC and Lawn Tractor I have ramps from Harbor Freight and I am fabricating a folding filler panel. I haven’t mastered how to load photos here but you can see my progress here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cargo-Tr ... 0337222582 :thinking:

welcome Bob I too don't know how to post pictures because I don't have any to post
but they say it is easy and there is help just click above on "Help with photos"
I would like a 7X14 with ramp I'm handicapped and I use a mobility scooter
I have folding aluminum ramps that I use to load it into my truck.
The trouble with hauling it that way is if we want to stop and do some sightseeing we have to unhook the trailer
pull the truck forward unload scooter and reverse everthing when we want to move on
with a ramp cargo trailer lower the ramp drive off raise the ramp done.
I will be waiting to see your pictures once you have mastered the posting.

Cargobob:

Where did you get the upper cabinets? I have seen similar online and they command quite the price.
