    Good evening, wanted to know if anyone knows or have heard of any place that does a good job at building trailers? Look at taking a 20 - 22 ft box and making it a trailer. Every time I look one up I gives me gooseneck trailers.

    Cannot normally build them for what you can buy them for. When you see one you like look and see who made it. Call them and search for used ones.

    As somebody who has built a trailer from scratch, this is true...especially when you factor in the cost of tools you'll need for the job. HOWEVER, the good thing about building the trailer yourself is that you are only limited by your imagination and budget. You don't have to try to explain what you want to somebody and hope they correctly interpret what you need...and you don't have to settle for what works for "most". Besides, when somebody compliments your trailer that you designed and built yourself, there's a certain satisfaction that you just can't get with a store-bought one.
