I've been searching for budget trailer options since Harbor Freight recalled their trailers. I've even considered building my own, but the price of all of the parts really added up.
So now I'm looking at an Irontron 40in. x 48in. kit from Northern Tool for $367 shipped. Just a blank trailer waiting for a bed or whatever. I'm thinking about adding a custom diamond plate box to it. 40x60x18. It would look like this. More than enough storage for long trips.
I got a quote for the box from a place in Michigan. $780 shipped to me. Almost $300 of that is shipping.
But I found another manufacturer in White City OR called Highway Products. They're 280 miles from Spray OR. I was thinking I could get the trailer and tow it empty to NW Starfest. Then trip down to White City and get the box. Install it there then ride home. I'm still waiting for a quote so I don't know what their box will cost or what shipping would be.
Still need to do the RSV hitch too. I have an extra cross bar for my RSV bag frames. I think I could use that to make my own hitch.
