Very odd question about lowboy trailer I'm sure.

Just found this on the website that PCfreak posted. I want my frame to kind of be like this but with the wheels all the way to the back and the section of the frame generally used for storage that is lowest made longer, maybe to were the back axle is in the picture.Then it raises higher where axles will be relocated.

 

Based off the last picture I posted, do any of you know if that would be able to be made? If so, who should I go to that's a reputable custom trailer builder.

 

I have been wondering about the weight above axles on my truck which is why I am doing an MRAP axle swap. I was hoping if I also beefed up the frame of my truck as I have to anyways, that I'll have the strength to handle the trailer when I do occasionally move it once built. This is also why I have been drooling over an international crew cab pickup like this if I need to upgrade for more truck, I just need to find one around the $35k-$40k range.

 

NorthernMechanic, like a car hauler in the one red trailer picture I posted? I have toyed my designs with it, where I get stuck is the interior standing height on the fold outs once they're deployed. The only way around it is make that area seating but I I haven't figured out how I would stop the flex where the piano hinge would meet up with the trailer on the fold out floor which is why I opted towards the lowboy style design. I thought maybe outriggers of some sort to help support the fold out if they could somehow be attached to the car hauler style frame. My problem with that is the largest fold out outriggers I've found are only 10".

 

Here's the one I found.

 

My fold outs will add an extra 54"d x 16'L x 7' H on each side.

 

Petey, as far as the balance goes with weight. The kitchen has the most weight in one area, so it and the bathroom were to be placed above the trailer axles. I i was also thinking I beams for length of trailer and c channel for the cross support between the I beams to help against twisting that would also be used for floor support. I also think I beams would be best when it's parked and supported so there's no sag over the life of the trailer. This will be a full time, four season home.
