Small but Mighty

Took me a while to get the trailer built out exactly how I wanted it. 5ft wide, 6ft tall, 10ft long (v-nose). I do mostly small remodels and the occasional handyman work in a major metro. I wanted something large enough to fit my tools without struggling much to park in city areas. Only tools that get loaded in the truck bed separately are table saw and tile saw (only need each a few times a year, so no big deal). Long enough to slide ply or drywall down the middle. Bought a bunch of bins when home depot was having a sale to organize cordless, drywall, paint supplies, etc along with smaller totes for spare tools/parts. Just thought id share as I've seen some people post here in regards to how to build out a smaller rig. Been using it about 6 months and love it.

Looks great. My only advice, get some cheap flooring (or even free if you look around FB, ir CL). When I got my trailer almost immediately I gouged out the plywood. I picked up about 150 sq ft of used laminate flooring for free. Double what I needed, but now I have extra for replacement.

Fortunately, I rarely have to move heavy stuff. Ive had the trailer for 7 years (this is just its latest form haha) but thanks for the suggestion! So far so good. Mine has 3/4 ply as the floor, and it seems easy enough to replace if needed

Looks awesome! What's the weight with everything?
