Source for gutted air compressor trailers?

[nkorep2]

Hello everyone,
Ive gotten interested in building an off road camping trailer to pull with my jeep and Demented Toys' air compressor trailer idea sounds fantastic. Does anyone have a source for these? Ive looked at ebay and craigslist and for the most part they area all functional compressors and are pricey. I dont need a functional one, I just need the shell and trailer. Any ideas on where to find one?

Thanks,
Nikolai

I'd contact a heavy equipment leasing companies that would typicaly have compressors in their fleet. You might get a deal on one that is beyond it's service life. You could also part out the compressor parts from the trailer to recoupe some costs.

Here's one near me, compressor is shot but has a good engine. I'm sure there would be similar units all over if you look.
