Trailer made from the back half of a VW panel bus, for $900. It can’t be any worse than the last trailer I bought .

I don’t think it matches the truck the same way the Bell trailer did

This really needs to be towed by another bus. It just wasn’t meant to be.

Needs some custom taillight work, then it’ll look great behind a van.

That would be cool for a DIY camper build

900 ain’t that bad for an enclosed trailer. but just don’t expect to put anything heavy in it.

Boxer swap it with casters in the front.

There was a similar thing on my CL recently, but it was a ford econoline work van, for $2,200.

That’s pretty cool. Decent price if it’s built well. I wouldn’t haul anything too heavy though. With the wheels that far back, that’s a lot of tongue weight.

In the alternate universe where I by this, I’d seriously plan to cut out most of the rear inner structure & floor, move the wheel wells as far forward as possible without interfering with the door, and put in a new flat floor & frame rails with a trailer axle to get the center of balance a bit better.

That would also open up a bunch of space inside, so it could be made into a nice little camper.
