Hey from Iowa! Looking for a cargo trailer that doesnt exist

[rebar]

Well, Im still looking..

I find them once in a while but always over 1 hour away..    Here's one where the owner wont respond..

And no one makes a 7' wide deckover I could put this on..

Bite the bullet put in the energy to find a welder / fab shop that has a reasonable labor charge, and shop for the tube steel.

Suspension can be very cheap.

With the ready made stuff you often need to DIY fix up their shoddy work anyway.

That's a idea Iv considered (7' regular trailer and replace axle with narrow track axle and build wheel wells, but the frame?) but if a shop did the work, it would cost way to much.  Me doing it?  To much work..

I cant find the 12 valve truck Ive been searching for anyway, so I don't mind laying back and letting them come to me, or close to me.

Here's a "narrow track" with a rounded one piece roof I'm supposed to look at next week. And Iv also learned some narrow track trailers have a wider track which is easy to spot because the fenders stick out about 5" instead of 2".

My trailer has 215 75 15 tires on twin 5,200 lb axles and electric brakes on both axles with enclosed fenders that are 7' 7" wide. The deck is 72" wide and the fenders mount flush with the deck. The top of the trailer frame is 21" off the ground. My box is 75" tall with 4" being insulation and building materials, so I can at 5'10" stand up without hitting my head, which makes the overall height 96" with no vents or solar on the roof. I have about $3,500 in the trailer($1,000 for the stripped Nomad trailer frame and $2,500 for materials and welding) and probably about $2,500 into the box. I think it is possible to build and design what you both are looking for but everything will have to be a custom build and therefore pretty expensive if you don't or are not able to do it yourself. I like knowing every bolt on what I'm towing and that it will haul twice the weight I plan to put on it but doesn't weigh as much as some poorly built manufactured trailers I could have spent more for.

My new cargo trailer is 6 x 12, plus the width of the wheels on the outside.

Mine is plenty big inside, plus a larger trailer will be heavier to tow and harder to cool, and with more wind resistance.

I have it super-insulated too.... more on that later.
