Talking Trailer

I just started back in R/C. I plan on using a trailer to haul all of it around. Any ideas and suggestions will help. I have a 10' utlity trailer and thought I may enclose it. I work for a large sheet metal shop so the frame and skin are no problem.

Yea me too ! I'm looking to convert a flat bed style and build a top & sides on it to transport a couple of airplanes. Gotta keep it light though so I can tow it with my Corrolla.

You won't see that here in the states, however you can go to a RV sales company and see some really nice haulers. I saw a nice one at an IMAC contest this past Jan. that had a machine shop in it. Big bucks for that one. Just have to keep saving the pennys.

I converted a 8x5ft box trailer into my plane trailer. Took about 5 days work to get it useable. I still haven't finished deckin' it out with lights etc. So far it has only cost me around $2000 AUD.
