Default RE: Trailer Buying Help Needed

I can share what I have hope it helps.

As you can see by the pictures, it is made by Haulmark [sorry the K is missing]. It is classified as a 5 x 9 inside dimensions are 8'6" length [to the center/front of the radius], 4'9" wide. Ceiling is 5' 1 1/2" to center [roof have curved top] of top measured inside the frame. The door opening is 55" tall by 49" wide. Deck to ground is 15" to 18" depending on how it is leveled with tongue jack.

It has a standard steel axle with leaf springs and 15" wheels and tires. Rides a little rough but I have cushioned all mounting surfaces with foam and have not experienced any problems from rough roads, etc.

I am 6' 3" and have no problem with the inside height. As you can see from the interior picture, I have racked the front of the trailer so I only need to be inside to remove fuse and wing, I can sit on the floor and reach all other items I need.

I am in the process of adding a 110 Volt power outlet that will come in through a port that will let me use 110V with the trailer locked. Also am adding an opening roof vent to help keep heat down.

By the way, I did not buy this as a mobile hanger, it was originally used to move my mother from Houston to Jackson, TN. It cost very little more than U-Haul wanted for three round trips to Houston. If I were to buy for a hanger, I would havegone a little bigger, with double rear doors and a front side door. With my size planes, I prefer the doors over the rear fold down ramp/door, I find you can get closer to work tables, overhead covers, etc with the doors, it also allows you a place to sit confortably if you need one.
