<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'> <div>Richard</div> <div> </div> <div>There are several cargo trailer companies that will customer make your trailer. I looked at one about 20 years ago, and 6' inside height of the 6x10 trailer could be raised to 6'6", and the door to 6'. </div> <div> </div> <div>The other idea is to buy a used horse trailer. A tuner/tech in St. Louis had one of them. Great stability, with the wheels outside the main cargo bin. And it had a drop down back gate. <br> </div> <div>Wim<br> </div> <div style="CLEAR: both"> <div> </div> </div> <br> <br> <div style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">-----Original Message-----<br> From: Richard W.
