Nice work, what are the dimensions, going of the RoofBox it looks to be a good size.

Like the "A" Frame plenty of scope to add a Jockey Wheel I would imagine.

Have seen some ramshackled-cobbled-together trailers over the years but that one looks very smart.

I envy your garage too for storage

It's a 4x3 box but have raised the sides to around 3 ft. Made a plywood top and replaced the mudguards (painted myself with hammerite spray can)
It's not a garage it's the warehouse I work in :).
Next project will be a storage box and leg/jockey wheel on the a frame. Thanks for the kind comments.

It looks really smart. I'd never guess it was home-made.

I am a bit concerned about the weight.... the axles have 500 stamped on them so I assume that means 500kg. Hope its not too much fully laden for the poor little wheels :)
Fingers crossed as it will have its maiden voyage empty on Saturday then fully laden on Thursday.

I am sure they will be fine, mine has the same size wheels and we were fully loaded, I think you will be hard pressed to hit 500kg, the heaviest item we have is the tent and that weighs in at just under 26 kg (outwell cleveland 6p).

Mine is very similar in size and we have no issues, it was packed slightly differently than in the pic belowfor our trip however due to new stuff  17 but gives you an idea

Ah excellent thanks for that Dan. Yours looks quite neat and tidy too, like the idea of the lid props, mine is just a lift off lid.
