I have said for years that "You almost can't have too many trailers..."
The one shown looks to be a great price.
I have one that was made on a pop-up camper frame that I may mount my
little Wood-mizer sawmill on to save my back.
I once bought one made on a smallish boat trailer that had a long narrow
box on it. It had been made  by a small club to haul their hang-gliders in.
They went another route and consigned it to an Amish auction. I think I
paid $10 for it.
I think I only have 6 trailers right now.
Spencer, maybe you can "borrow" a boat trailer from your borrowing
neighbor...  :-)
