Home-Built Fifth Wheel Trailer Go's Behind 4-wheeler
I built this 4 1/2 by 8-ft. fifth wheel trailer to go behind my 4-wheeler, using mostly materials I had on hand. The frame is 1 1/2-in. square steel tubing. I used 2-in. pipe to make the tandem axles. I had to buy the spindles, but I had the tires and wheels. The floor is covered with plywood. The fifth wheel hitch I made from 1 1/2-in. round steel pipe.
  I'm retired and have a small place and 25 head of ewes. I use the trailer to haul various things around the place, like lumber and supplies and hay to feed my ewes.
  I've also displayed it in parades. The photo was taken at the Pioneer Days parade in Crawford, Colorado. (Wes Edwards, 3981 J 75 Dr., Paonia, Colo. 81428 (ph 970 527-3890)
