General trailer question

[chubb]

How hard is it to convert a standard box trailer to an enclosed one?

anyone got any tips and hints?

depends on what you are looking to achieve Rancell. I have seen a few done that look like a bolt on cover done at home... if you are looking for a race style enclosed trailer with inboard wheels then its better to start from scratch... the box trailer box will limit your capacity if you put the walls in line with the box, and will look like an afterthought if you go to the outside of the wheels...

Anything is doable but you wont save much and have to think about what you want it to look like... check ebay- there are usually a few on there as good examples of what not to do

Just an idea. Maybe the trailer will have to do another year too. Cuz after that we will be moving somewhere far far away.

Just buy an enclosed and offload the box
Way easier and it won't leak

this is what I was talking about... even with a paint job, it still wouldn't cut muster

Just a Tip...when getting rego done and the inspector notices that the Word "Caged" or "Enclosed" isn't on rego paper, it well be needing Blue slip and rego goes from $57 per year to $165.00 plus pending weight.

Yes I got caught out..:eek:

thanks for the tip Baddie...Maybe I should just sell mine and buy an enclosed as well...
