well, still thinking about trailers, and the one at the Purplewave was super luxury at one time, but I think sitting in the parkinglot unmaintained for a year and a half has played a big role in its demise. Someone spent some big buckaroonies on it. I think it would take an awful lot of repair to get it ready to use again. Plus some kind of legal issue with the state, that they can't sell it because the previous owner whom it was seized from is trying to work out a deal to get his property back.
However it did give me some great idears on, if I build a trailer, how I want to set it up.
Jack, thankyou for the offer to use yours, and I may take you up on that, depending on what I find between now and then for a trailer.
I also give some thought to a miniature enclosed trailer so that I can store my camping gear in it all year long, rather than the garage. Those seem a bit pricey, but I might find one somewhere that just needs some repair, which would bring the price down to maybe where I could afford it.

I broke down and ordered new fenders for mine. Duane said he might be able to do some welding for me. Mine can be run with or without the box. Been almost 2 years since I used it for any thing.

Mondo is the word of the day, please try to use it at least once in every post LOL!!!!
Del, those tear drop trailers are mondo expensive, and made from light wood, while they look neat, I think about a mile up the trail and I would be having to get the glue out and put it back together. Maybe I am wrong, maybe I am thinking of a different trailer than you are.
The ones I have seen may have been built from balsa wood, they were really weak. (looked at them up in Ohio)

Harbor freight trailer for about $150 and a Sears Cargo top box for another $150 or so. It could also double as a trailer to pull behind that mondo motorcycle you no longer have.

It was used in the "Dude" era. I heard it first in a surffer movie where it was used to describe waves. "Dude the surf is mondo knarly." A beach bum slang by very young folk at one time.
