Looking for Info on Enclosed Trailer for Kitfox 7

Chase, great looking "mobile hangar". Maybe keep track of your labor just in case someone else wants one.

Thanks Steve,

I'll post photo's of the build and give build time ..I'm guestimating it will take 5 to 6 days to build. I have chop saw, wirefeed welder, tubing bender, and a square I use to build perimeter traliers for Chris Craft boats,..and built a few race car and equipment trailers ,..also did work for Raven trailer company,.. when they were behind ,..they would call me, I could build a complete 40 foot all aluminum T&T dump trailer and roll it out of the shop ready for the road in 5 days.

Hi Chase.
I just bought a '4 place' Triton Jet Ski trailer. It is plenty long enough to haul my Model IV, and is low enough to the ground so as not to be so high. Has dual torsion axles. Frame rails are 78" centerline so with the new bush gear I just installed, it will fit perfectly on the rails. There is an elevated center rail that will help support the tail wheel. This thing is light enough to move around by hand. The total length is 26ft. It tows really nice. Now if I can sell my old holesclaw trailer, I can work on getting this one built for the Kitfox. -Tom , N.J.

Depending on your state law as to the max width , at 1 time it was 8' the greyhound bus got it bumped to 102", i dont know if wider is legal in all states, wider the 102" that is

[ken nougaret]

i believe that legally 102" Is the widest allowed. but I've been told it's not difficult to get a waiver, or take your chances. I haven't looked into it yet. but I think that extra 6" is necessary for a model 7.

[Danzer1]

102" is the max. Oversize load waivers are sometimes not that easy to get, depending on the state. Some also limit which roads you can travel on and some even require escort vehicles. There are also costs involved with permits and they are usually only good for one trip. Take your chances in CA and I know it costs big time if you are caught - they love it! Best bet would be to check with your state for specifics - they are all different.

Its been a while since i've hauled any wide loads, but i believe your right Danzer,
I built this truck for hauling wide/oversized loads
