originally, it was a rear entry 2 horse trailer with tack room in the front.
the roof and walls had bad rust, and thus i made it a cargo trailer.

thus the axils are very far back compared to a avrege open cargo trailer, or car transporter...

having the axils so far back, helps in side winds quite a lot and is very very nice in sustained side winds.
but with a smaller tow auto, it limits how i load it, and how much load quite a bit....

to hall a small/mod size auto.
it must be loaded back words, to put most of the load on the trailer, and not the tow auto.

but for this trip, i will be on the light side. just my bio fuel and mabe some parts to sell.
only the tank pump and barrel will be higher then the front rounded part of the trailer. i can see over the trailer with my rear view mirr

im thinking about cutting and using the plastic, to cover the out side of the tires, more or less boxing them in.
