Noel: This is what I sent Bobby. I think a removable soft top & sides could be fashioned and with the ingenuity endemic to most KR builders I am sure you could use the storage wheel ass'ys that come with the trailers and retain the folding function but the castors would that come with it are totally inadequate from a strength stand point. The cementicious(sp?) siding is an option for duability and the decking scr'd down with sq. drive deck screws.
Take a look at & see if it will do what you want. Harbor freight has a website. Don Lively Burlington IA Bobby: I bought a folding trailer from "Harbor Fright" with 12 inch wheels ($239.95) and took "Stud Length"( 92-3/4") 2x4's, bolted them across the "Tilting Frame" and decked it with 5/8" CDX . Then I covered the with the 4' x 8' "John Hardie" cement siding. I purchased my KR fro a gentleman in Stonefort IL, about 15 miles SE of Marion and hauled the KR on its gear the 400 miles or so back to Burlington IA with no proplem. The Gross vehicle wt rating is abot 1300# for the trailer and the only thing you will need to do is mount the lights on the wood framing and run ground wires back to the steel frame for the lights. 8 or 10 2 x 4 studs 2 shts 4' x 8' 5/8" cdx plywood 2 shts 4' x 8' 5/16" "John Hardie" cement siding bolts & hardware to secure 2 x 4s to the frame ( I used lag screws but Carrage bolts might lat longer) I eventually will mount a winch on the front of this trailer to assist in loading & unloading. The folding design makes for a handy tilt feature that assist in loading & the 2 x 4s are high enough to allow the deck to pass over the trailer fenders. --Doubles as a good flat bed utility trailer as well. Best of Luck.
