Hey Jim,
I've been following this thread and....has anyone tried to put the rear
ends of a BGT together! I'm thinking from the B pillar back- it would
mean that the trailer would have four wheels..I've been thinking for some
time about building a fold out trailer that would be basic sleeping
accomodation for two people...might be possible to accomplish the same
with back to back rear ends of BGT's. Don't know yet if it would give one
the needed floor space for two people to stretch out...I'll measure it
out when I get a chance...anyways there's a thought a trailer from a pair
of BGT's....anyone want to give it a try!
Regards Padre
