Now your making me feel old, I was in High school when they came out

Going to have a closer look at this today or tomorrow. I know the guy that owns it, and seems like i can get it almost for free.
Can easily be built into an enclosed trailer with a little bit of frameing, floor and panels.

Are those torsion axles? I see no springs, An closed traile by itself might weigh 4500 pounds, with out a load, fame looks light for that, most good enclosed trailers have six or eight inch main beams
gasserx:
Depends how you build it..
Well, going for a look today, i dont know the loading capacity or if its suitable yet.
Might work as an open trailer though, then im covered for a while.
Checked on some of the simplest enclosed trailers over here, and its not possible to find anything below $12-15000

Hello M;)
The caravan chassis is very weak, so you should look for New beams:)
As you said, check the load capasity on the axles. To make an enclosed trailer, you probably need New ones.
Hofstad in Oslo is a good Source. The also sells trailer kits:) Not very expensiv:)
Also see if you could find old trucks. You might fins something for the enclosed part;)
