Re: Kitfox Enclosed Trailer
My trailer is a flat bed that I built a framework on out of 1" electrical conduit, covered the front with fiberglass that is used on motorhome sides, and the rest is covered with a tarp I bought off ebay that is used to cover semi's hauling lumber.
With a little luck, I have included a few pics.
Re: Kitfox Enclosed Trailer
Thanks, great pics, looks like a very cost effective approach.
Chase,
Are you from this area (Mass that is)?
Re: Kitfox Enclosed Trailer
I modified a 1972 Holsclaw dual axle boat trailer. At the back I atached a couple very light I beams close to the ground. I made wheel pans and bolted them to the I beams where the mains sit in. There is a small ramp attached to the center up to the hand crank assembly. I installed light metal stud material around the outside of the trailer just a bit wider than the dimensions of the plane.
As far as going in and out of my garage, I installed a Reese hitch on the front of my pick up. This is unbelievably easy in and out of my garage.

That would certainly make the load of the trailer lighter. :p

Ray, did you order a 8.5' or 9' outside diameter trailer?
Re: Kitfox Enclosed Trailer
Many states will have restrictions, and possibly, permit requirements if over 8'6" wide. Just something to keep in mind.
