Just wanted to share some pics of my trailer project. I would rather ride but sometimes lodging was an issue when we got there. Thus, the inspiration for this trailer. Its a 14 ft cargo trailer I had a guy build for me. I totally finished the interior: insulation, sheeting, paint, lights, it has an RV converter for 110 power, 12 volt RV water pump and a stainless bar sink, the queen size bed folds down in the back, a fold up table on the front left side for cooking and such. I mounted 2 propane tanks on tongue. I also built a rack on top and use it to attach a canvas awning that has withstood the winds of Sturgis and Red Lodge, MT. I still need to mount a rooftop AC unit when spring gets here. A porta-potty hidden inside a wooden box with hinged lid and an outside shower cabana makes things pretty comfortable. This trailer will haul 2 full size baggers. Total on this project including trailer is about $8,000 and i use it for camping with or without the scooter.

great idea... I knew a guy that converted an old 60's model travel trailer into a toy hauler by cutting the back end out of it and making a ramp gate. wish I had pictures of it.
I always say - "whatever it takes"!!

I'd like to see a pic of the awning you made if that would not be too much trouble. I have a 2003 Classic trailer that has roof racks like yours and a factory camper kit like this:

I just bought my trailer which is 8x14 and was set up kind of strange with barn doors. The previous owner said he did it on purpose so he did not have to look at the tire tracks when he was sitting in it. Whatever. I bought some good ramps and installed some removable chocks. Just towed it up north and put it away for the winter. Will use it to go places in the spring.
Thanks in advance for the pics.
