Rethinking the trailer

Well now, back to square one.  I called last week about a 7x10 trailer and no answer  I tried back several times and on Monday learned the trailer was sold on Sunday.  My second choice costs considerably more as it is new and it is 6'4" x 10 instead of 7 x 10.

Ledge Wagon

Why is that a big deal?  Because I want a full length bed at the end.  I am 6'2", mattresses are at least 6'3" and without doing a ledge wagon the width after walls will be 5'11" or maybe 6' at the most.

Now for the other shoe to drop.  The maximum width for a trailer in Ohio is 102".  A 12" ledge on either side would take the width to right at 100".  Adding even some sort of trim can take it over the 102" max.

An Actual Medicine Show Wagon!
So, I do a ledge wagon with only 8" ledges which takes me to 92 inches or give up on a full length bed at the end.
