Can't load my tractor!

...The front half is a tray-ceiling, the back half is flat.

Oh. Now I get it.

I was trying to figure out how they were built. I was assuming they would all be the same, but some were unfinished. Now that I know they are supposed to be different it all makes sense. I like the look of the tray ceiling. It's a clever way to get more head room without taller walls. Are there any limits on the stregth of tray ceiling trusses?

nice home! :D As for regisering it, not sure how it works for you in your state, but here we just fill out a form for a homemade trailer, take it to the nearest truck scale and get a scale ticket and go back to DMV and complete the registration. Since your trailer wasa mobile home before, you should already have a vin number, if not just get a new one issued from DMV when registering.

The top triangle is a truss, so it is primarily limited by the 2x4 span, which is ~3 feet on a side. The supporting joist section is a 2x6, and is less than 2' long. The total span is a little under 8', so there is basically no problem with any type of loading. As it is with the truss structures I designed, you could land a helicopter on the roof if you wanted to.
