Not sure I understand the support beam comment, but as far as locating the side entry door behind the axle, I see no problem with that. I have seen other DIY built stand up ones with a side door on the rear. Here again, not fully understanding your comments, I have to ask about the rear itself. Will there be any door there, ramp or barn doors? And if barn doors, you have to consider the swing arch of the barn door.

Hi the comment was I'm getting the trailer higher so the beans are closer together so I thought maybe that would have something to do with the door place ment. I am getting a ramp.I am new to this site. SO GLAD I FOUND it

Welcome!
You mean a side door in the back, sorta like this one?

Build thread here: (he is Elmo_4_VT here, but I couldn't find the thread in this forum)
http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/70564-Elmo-s-New-Toy-Hauler-Build/page3I was able to order my Cargo Craft in pretty much any configuration I wanted with only a slight change in price. As far as "higher" I chose standard axles for better ground clearance. If I recall correctly, I've got a 22" floor and 20" hitch ball height, my model also had 16" on center walls and 24" roof 1" square tubing everywhere.

Thanks for finding a picture with a side door I have tried searching for one I like the idea of the door in the back I believe there's more things you could do with the construction inside
