Hard to say exactly how long it took to build, because it was always in little short spurts.

Most of the work was done nights and weekends in one summer, then my father-in-law got sick, so the whole project was stashed and then pulled back out the next spring. I didn't have to do a whole lot more that spring.

Overall, a project similar to mine is a very do-able summer project.

Of coarse that depends how much experience you have with wood, metal, trailers, electrical, etc.

Everything I did on the trailer took pretty long, because I hadn't done any work like that before. The only thing I was able to do quick and easy was the 12V wiring.

If I were to build another trailer, I could do it twice as fast now.
