: Generically speaking I have tossed many/most of those ideas around.

: Problem is, I do not want to have to load from the rear. Truck, trailer, and
: a kayak being loaded are going to need 50+ feet of space. Someone parks
: behind you on the side of road, you can't load or unload. So I pretty much
: eliminated that idea. That means side doors and they need to be 18 foot
: long. That's where the problems start.

: The other big issue is a rigid framework that is self supporting and not
: going to twist and rack as it goes down the road. Metal makes a lot of
: sense here, but there goes the cheap part and there would be a lot of work
: in building that.

: I thought about PVC pipe but that's not cheap either. There is still the
: structural issue over the doors. That needs to be truss and/or sheathed in
: plywood.

: Can it be done? SURE! I am just not sure it's worth it to me. I can build a
: rack and modify by trailer for probably $300 or less. This is a lot more
: work and money. Not giving up, but I don't see this fitting into my
: budget.

Good point! I wasn't going to worry about PAYING for it! Modifying your current trailer is likely much faster and more cost effective. This is still a fun idea to chew on.
