    I will be knocking up a very small single wheel camping trailer for next season, it will have a mild steel frame and some sort of top that I have not yet decided on.
    I was wondering the pro's and cons of different coatings, durability, COST,I am thinking white , powder or some sort of paint or other coating :thinking:

    I was also undecided about the type of top, open with a lid or tarp?

    You don't need a draw bar so it can be very short, as in close to the van,they look mega vintage you can reverse them like a normal van without the jack knifing. Google image allstate single wheel trailer.

  7. Might sound daft, but have you thought about using a cut down PVC oil/water storage container?[​IMG]
