Anyone contacts for builders / fabricators / dealers?

[winnipegtibook]

I've spent countless hours searching the forum and thank everyone for the awesome builds. Here's my dilemma, I need a cargo trailer that is just big enough to carry two bikes, kids bikes, camping gear, kitchen stuff etc for long-distance trips. Want everything "enclosed", as I am tired of worrying about bikes on roofracks.
We don't want / need a rooftop tent.

I have looked at builds (I don't weld), looked at conversions (not sure if I have the expertise to start cutting up a perfectly good new trailer). Curious to know if anyone is out there building something that would work? The "expedition trailers" seem to be a bit too low, height wise, for what I need.

My eyes are buggy from looking at countless posts.

Suggestions? Contacts?

Look at Cowboy, he is building one like that and would build you one if you needed it I am sure.

I found his build, thanks so much. I am completely on the fence going tub-style (i.e. adventure trailer) / utility trailer build up versus cargo hauler conversion. I don't expect to sleep in it (in theory), but really like the idea of the self-contained kitchen, fridge etc. My issue with the Adventure-style is the tub is just too small.

Oh, so many ideas from all these talented folks (cowboy included)!

What's your budget?
I have very similar needs to yours, and had at one point in time considered getting one of these:
http://wellscargo.com/wellscargo-trailers/mpt-multi-purpose-trailers/

It'll set you back $4k though.

Hmmm, hard question to answer. I don't / can't drop 10 grand on it, but the Wells Fargo seems to be in the "range." However, I am kinda open to suggestions / price points. If this is something that I can use for years and years, and is well-built, well, then I am willing to bite the bullet.

I don't know about "up there," but here in Georgia, we're blessed with a handful of enclosed trailer manufacturers, and 100's of dealers that'll happily sell you any dimension you want.
Price point: you can go by a dealer lot, and drive away with a 5x8 v-nose trailer for about $1,800 (ramp, side door, side vents, roof vent framed for AC).
You'd still have to finish the interior+windows, but it'd get you started. That's a "bottom of the line" trailer though. I'm expecting to pay about $2,500 for mine... if I ever get the M1101 sold!

You need to contact Rick Soto at http://www.offroadtrailerz.com/ he builds exactly what you are describing, and his prices are very reasonable

I had a peek at the offload trailerz, thanks for this. I think my "idea" may be something between it and the wells cargo.

Too many great examples!

Try this. If you are on Facebook, there is a trailer Rick built that sounds more similar than what is on his actual website. Look at the "weekender trailers" page
