Wood
was a good low cost material fer learning with but now with the current pricing, I'm looking at other materials. EMT conduit with Maker Pipe connectors would be a good start. It should be easy to make a shopping cart frame using the connectors and EMT.

I'm also considering including a mix of slotted angle as well.
I'm not sure about the underside at the moment but it will be considered in the near future.
The trailer frame is about 3' wide by 4.5' long. The space between the end of the vehicle and the front of the trailer is about 18" and from the end of the vehicle to the landing gear arms is about 13". The fiberglass body will be used sparingly as I work on building a modular body system that can be removed/replaced as needed depending on the task at hand.
