    Converting utility trailer to enclosed trailer

    Has anyone had any expetience with this?
    I have a 5x8 utility trailer that Im using for my rig. I've become frustrated with how unorganized everything is so I want an enclosed trailer without buying a new one.

    My current setup

    I'm looking to basicly weld a metal box frame to the trailer and wrap it in aluminum.
    Any suggestions tips or pics of maybe some conversions u guys have seen.

    Maybe with an end result like these

    and that's why I have a van.
    I could never detail out of an open trailer.

    Re: Converting utility trailer to enclosed trailer

    That second picture you posted under "maybe with an end result like these" is the inside of my trailer! I'm happy to know people are checking it out for ideas as that's what I display them for. I remember when I started out searching for hours to find ideas on how to set my rig up. All is I can say is even after you place everything in it and feel like it will be organized enough for you to work out of, you'll find something later on that you just don't like any longer and you'll change it slightly. Good luck on whatever you choose to do to your trailer!

    When I started out I got a deal on the trailer with the water tank, generator and pressure washer. I didn't want to get another vehicle that I didn't have the money for, I already had a truck.

    Yeah it does suck working out of a trailer I'm always paranoid about it when I'm out on a job. I've already had a vacuum stolen.

    Thank you. I second your thought of paranoia but time will change that a little bit. Besides, this would be the reason of carrying insurance. Got to learn to not sweat the little things so much.
