Awesome! I'm amazed how you guys can do this amazing stuff from scratch! Same opinion as Dreamweaver, the attaching and detaching of the neck was seamless! Keep it comin'!

Hi Travis, your built inspired me to try and make my own,the biggest difficulty for me is to understand the mechanism of the lifting flat bed,would you have maybe some tutorial with pictures that I missed on how to build one.
Thank you.
Jack.

Hey Travis, can you and would you be willing to build one of these trailers still? I see that it's been quite awhile sense anything was posted in this thread. I am very interested in one! I sent you a PM but I tried that with Russ as well and he said it never came through so I figured I'd try it this way. Thank you for at least considering it! By the way, I'm going to try to get by the Lebanon show this month just in case you've got one that is already built that you might want to let go of.
