I'm thinking 22 ft max so I can build the "Pilot House Hauler" inside. Gonna add a winch and will dove tail the rear. Done with the come along except for back up. Titled it today and got a cool motorcycle sized plate.
 
22ft foot trailer deal lord where would you park it? :) I have a 16ft and its in the way every day, 8 more feet would surely leave marks on the rest of the cars.

looking good though!
 
Big is good plus extra length will help with load placement. Will build a nice winch/tool box. I like the boxed 5/2 frame. Will keep this in tractor shed at the farm.

Building both Dozer. The free travel trailer donor was super ugly so had to get on with the trailer build too and make the ugly go away. :cool:

Plus need a trailer now to run the local pilot house rescue program. :D

Will you be changing the backspacing of the wheels or do you have clearance between the back of the tires to the bed sides ?

Got about 90% clearance now. I can cut more room for wheel travel if needed.
