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…..

Maybe one day.
I want my own trailer but I would use it infrequently so I don't want to spend real money.

Neat trailer.

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

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)

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.
