Convinced my wife it would be cheaper to just build a trailer than buy one. Decided to build an 8x20 foot trailer. Comparable trailers costs around $4,700 (Big Tex brand) at local dealer. After buying the steel, axles, tires, and everything I needed, the savings wasn't what I expected. Since steel pieces come in 24' lengths, decided to build a 20'+4' dovetail to be more cost effective. I've built a couple of much smaller projects. This is the first big project I've attempted so far.
