5ft shouldn't be wider unless you drive a mini or suzuki.

It is but just a smidgen. I think I was having a mental blank and comparing it to a car trailer I had to tow a couple of months back.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

From the sound of it, your RTT is on top of a tall cage?? If so, why not make a top or just racks that sit on the top of the side of your trailer? You'll only be 300mm or so higher than plan A, and still have the trailer for storage etc.

To make the whole trailer wider you need to start at the chassis so that means building a new trailer, you could reuse the sides and possibly the drawbar but everything else will need to be replaced.
 I prefer to use what i have if i can but in this instance it wont work for you, if you wanted just to top to be wider then that can be done but you want the rtt sitting in the bottom, 5ft shouldn't be wider unless you drive a mini or suzuki.

No, definitely not my trailer (Pics borrowed from the web to give an idea of what I am thinking). If only I could remember where I got the pics from, I would chase up with the owner.

At this point in time, the project is a "pie in the sky" dream of having a trailer that suits my travel ideas and needs. I suppose the main reason for even thinking modifying is to see if I can take what I already have and make it my own and the joy of doing it myself, but with assistance. The RTT in the bottom is just one thing to make life easier. When the subject of the axle came up, it got me thinking of starting the project from ground up. Matching axle with tow vehicle for track width and hubs. Unless my research is wrong (highly possible), a standard 7X5 is wider than my vehicle.

I have plenty of time to think about this and happy to keep climbing the ladder on each adventure, so I am very much open to ideas and suggestions.
