Very Nice! What brand trailer is that? I just picked up a brand new 2010 Wells Cargo TC Trecker in a 7x12 and it looks really similar.

It's a covered wagon.

I posted these in the wrong thread. At any rate I picked up a "used" Roadmaster 7x12 tandem axle V-Nose. It is overkill for what I need, but the price was right and it had the three pingels and e-track already installed. I painted the walls, and floor (trying porch paint first to save $).
It's nice to have the clean sheet to start with and I'm thinking of a shelf in the upper part of the V.

How well can you see with a 7' wide trailer in a full size truck WITHOUT the extended towing mirrors? A 6' wide trailer is only about six inches narrower per side and for some models, only 3" narrower and I don't know if the one foot difference makes or breaks visibility.

I dont mind sharing the power.. I was thinking about installing a full blown 12VDC / 120VAC converter system but I never saw much need for it. We either plug in or use a generator and due to the insulation we can't hear the generator inside the trailer. Me and 2 guys built the trailer in less then 1 week, this is the 2nd one that I have built so it went pretty smooth.

Some of you guys are amazing craftsmen . . . .

How many hours would you say this took? Three guys working 8 hours a day for a week or was it done maybe three guys a few hours a day for a week?

Either way very impressive.

I can see right down the side of the trailer with no problems. I would estimate the sides are about the same width as the flares on my truck. If I remember I'll take a picture from inside looking at the mirrornext time I'm towing. The interior of trailer is 80", so I guess the exterior is 84"?

I actually remembered to take pics on way to track.
