Indeed. Although I'm confused now. First it was gas bottles, now it is empty
Aquarolls. Just what are you transporting? Do you mean that you need to
shift the Aquarolls out of the way to make room for the gas bottles?

Christian.


Bah and double bah!

Just typed a long reply and g**gle trashed it!

We've just bought the Aquarolls, so need to accomodate them (in an
already full trailer) so plan was to put make room for the Aquarolls in
the trailer by putting the gas bottles on the outside of the box.

I think my favorite at the moment is to get some 1/2" ply approx 2'
high and make a kind of box without a bottom or a lid to fit just
inside the existing trailer box. I can then use the existing soft
cover on it. Won't gain a whole lot of height, but overall it should
give approx 6 cubic feet of extra space, which should be plenty.


That's similar to what I have done. I added hooks to take the shock
cord of the soft cover and used more shock cord between these hooks and
the old hooks on the side of the trailer to hold the new box down.

I haven't been pulled over yet ;-)

It also makes the top of the trailer visible in the rear view mirror
which is useful.
