It will all depend on what scale you are building on. Let say you want a 40 foot trailer and your scale is 14.5 you take the 40 feet and times it times 12 and this convert it to inches witch would be 480 inches. Then you divide it by your scale that is 14.5 and you get 33.10 inches and that is how long your trailer would be. This is how you figure the dimensions. The figures that I used are just for demonstration you will have to get the dimensions of the trailer you want to build. Ed
