Trailer Design and Dimensions
dubstar_04 - 15/8/10 at 08:25 PM

I am in the process of modifying a caravan chassis to become a general use car trailer / transporter.

I am a mechanical design engineer by trade so I have modelled the existing chassis in autocad and intend on modifying the model and then ordering the steel work to suit my model.

What i am after is some photos and dimensions for something like a brian james A-sport trailer (or similar)

I am particully interested in the folded 'runners' on which the car sits, (length, width, side height, fold detail, material thickness) and the way these attach to the front cross member.

If anyone could help me out i would appreciate it.

My email address is: s.d.wood(at)googlemail dot com

I would also be more than happy to produce manufacturing drawings which could be posted on here once the design is complete.

Thanks,

Dan
