I like it. Post some pics of the inside when you get a chance. Girls always like to see the inside because that's when our creative juices start flowing.

DOH/DUH!

Ahhhh, that is SO much easier than the way I having been doing it. I was clicking on URL, and then adding in an = and pasting the URL in after the =. I assume that works the same to hotlink to a URL as it does for an image.

THANKS! :thumbsup:

It's petite. Is it big enough for you? You look like a tall fellow.

That's the same height I put in both my trailers, 6' 2". I'm only 5' 9" with shoes on and don't feel cramped in height at all.

Sometimes I pretend to be normal. But, that gets boring...so I go back to being me.

Looks like someone put some under-sized tires on it?

Great project.

Thanks everyone,it is apretty cool lil trailer.It needs a lot of work but isnt that what its all about. And yes the tires came off a tent trailer I beleve.The guy I bought it from found it in a farmers field.He jacked it up on blocks and removed the wheels,I take it they were used on somthing else or disapeared after 10 years.
The best part of this story is I found an other fellow about 40 miles away with the same tiny trailer.He has also done a complete rebuild on his and done a 5000 mile road trip.
