The trailer is a 5x10 fairly heavy duty custom trailer that was in the back yard of an elderly couple's newly aquired home. They had no need for the trailer due to it being too stiff and heavy for their needs. Honestly, I don't need a 3500lb axle, or anything that heavy duty, but why would I not make it stronger than needed? It is mostly used for transporting round bales of hay and family toys (atvs, go carts, bikes). But you never know what may be put on there for a haul. I am in the process of replacing the flooring with 2x10x10 pressure treated lumber and galvanized hardware at the same time I'm going to sand the trailer and respray it, changing the lights to leds, adding tie down spots, putting a hand crank winch on, and putting a lockable tool box on the front tongue of the trailer (or just thought of, maybe welding in a custom lock box to set flush in the tongue area...hmmm) and getting rid of the MH wheels for normal wheels. It has a removable square tube top that fits into the main rails of the trailer that I hope to customize with some sort of quick disconnect system to where one person can take the top off without danger of injury. It's a project that was very inexpensive to tinker with. Hope that answers all your questions.
