You need to see how many milk crates fit inside of it. I got curious today and it will fit 18 milkcrates. 3 long, 3 wide, and 2 high with more room to spare and lid down. ;D ;D ;D |

Rick, love the DC and the trailer is cool (don't see too many). Will you be attending the Bug Run on Oct 2nd - I'd like to see your DC first hand. Thanks

I haven't decided how its going to be painted. I need to figure out how to hook this to the DC without drilling holes in the bumper. I've even thought about polished aluminum skin. They sell it at the camper surplus places for $42 for a 4x8 sheet.
I do plan on being at the fall bugrun.

Rick, look forward to meeting you at the Bug Run.
Just a suggestion on your trailer. What do you think about replacing the reflectors with lights to match the DC?

The reflecters are screwed on. I have been thinking what to do for lights. I like the idea of matching lights, but not wanting to cut holes. I was thinking about magnetic L.E.D's, maybe little VW symbels.

Built a hitch for the Allstate, so NO holes in rear bumper.  |

That has to be one of the best ideas to save your bumper.

now you can mount a reciever on the back of the uhaul, and hook the allstate to the back of the uhaul. Then you will have something to haul Tia's bed when she gets bigger  |

Old steel ironing boards are the best. I can put alot of weight on them. They collapse and don.t take a bunch of space. I have three, a 4x8 sheet of plywood and the ironing boards make a huge heavy duty temporary bench. ;D
