Here’s my unfinished “Route 66 trailer”. This used to be a 2005 26 ft travel trailer that I couldn’t give away. I decided to gut it and use its frame for my 6” X 16’ dovetail open hauler.
I’m adding some unique features while attempting to keep weight down under 1500 lbs. Elec brakes Alum wheels 100% LED lighting Aluminum diamond plate platform Aluminum diamond plate fenders (removable) 4,000 remote power winch On board ultra light 12VDC power 12V Jump posts On board air compressor w/ 9 Gal tank (below deck) On board 10 gal water tank w/ 25 ft hose (below deck) And YES…wireless back-up camera All in white w polished deck. Stay tune for more pics….. |

Neat trailer.
I miss my car trailer, would have kept it if I had a better spot than my driveway to park it. |

Other people used my trailer more thsn I did. I just looked on youtube at some conversions. Too much work and trash generated. I'll just have to look for a good deal on a used one. Obviously the OP's will turn out very nice. |

How about the one we saw down at Jim/Lucky 914-6's house?
That was pretty state of the art. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

What if your 914 pick up has a custom trailer to pull your 914....
ie. OK, now picture 2 914s instead... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I had the perfect 14x7 single axle tilt bed trailer. I wasn't using it much & added it to a trade I made. One of the worst decisions of my life. It was the perfect trailer for a 914. Wouldn't scrape loading & sat just in front of the wheel when loaded right. So opening the door was no problem. I've been trying to find it for years with no luck

That’s going to be a Sweet Hauler when finished! It will be well worthy of supprting your P-Car transport needs.

Only that I can be rinse off a car after a long haul without having to look for a water somewhere. I'm installing an RV water pump.
