After looking at everything I could find on the web, I have decided to build a Generic Benroy rather than purchasing an existing trailer. Thank you, thank you for the free plans. I've enlisted the aid of my dad (a retired carpenter) and my husband (a hot rod enthusiast) for technical advice. Today, I downloaded the Washington State Patrol Inspection and Trailer Requirements. Next step will be to research the trailer/chassis options. I am a recovering worrier and am thinking that I might want the trailer to be welded as well as bolted together. I want to tow this behind my Subaru Outback off the beaten path on some bumpy roads. Since I am an artist by trade, I'm already thinking about the looks of the trailer and am leaning towards skinning it with aluminum on the top and hatch, and with marine duck canvas on the sides. I will stock up on bandaids and take a lot of pictures as I go. I think the trailer sides will match the color of my car...a sage green. The fenders and chassis will be black and there will be a little bit of brownish/red accent somewhere. I plan to make a lot of the decorative and functional accessories such as tiles, curtains, etc. with recycled materials. This is so exciting. I can hardly stand myself. Thanks again to all of you who share your expertise.
