    and in above post,

    The box with the cardboard box and blower actually go thru to mower box with door inside so accessible both side, it contains fuels and oils etc.

    Drivers side tool box and cupboard set up basically the same except no drawers and different shelf dimensions.

    The centre drawer is way cool , set up like a dunny roll holder for whippy string spool.

    Entire trailer has compression locks and padlocks for mower ramps.

    Overall length without drawbar is 3.8 by 2 wide on 4" dropaxles keeping this baby close to the ground tows great even with its 1.2 tonne empty weight, get up to around 1900kg loaded up.

    Just waiting on the signwriters to do their bit after their xmas break.

    Edit...Forgot to mention the 150amp hour battery and 1000w inverter in small tool box for coffee machine....(or drill etc)

    my design, but tru blu campers in mordialloc built it, we had a campertrailer built at same time.
    pretty serious build, came in at around $11k, but I reckon it will see me thru, just turned 40yrs old today and have no intention of working past 50 so hope it has the staying power, entire buold is dura gal.

    Happy Birthday Sterlo.
    Looks great but I hope your not planning to do too much work around the inner suburbs
    Im looking to go the other way . Trying to condense everything down to a 4x4 with a 2400x1800 tray.
    Is your Jack diesel or petrol?
    Cheers Fred.

    DOes anyone know if angled steel would be lighter than tube steel to make a frame for the trailer ramp / gate?
    The other issue is, would it be strong enough too

    I have heavy duty angled steel ramp/ gate, strong as but really heavy even with helper springs, and it looks very agriculture. A mate has square tube on his, it's lighter and looks much better. If I did it again I'd use tube. Both these ramps take ztrs weighing around 350kgs.

    How would a walker go on something like this, wheel width of my walker is around 900mm, and weight of around 320kg, to load into a box trailer?
