I also really like stonewells 5by5 mini trailers. Have worked out of a transit set up by stonewell and it was very pleasurable working experience. Take Care

I don't but dads last two rigs have been "minis". One was a chevy astro van, had more than enough space to work. Currently using a dodge caravan, I think.:confused:

. Bit small but fine for one person. Both great on fuel. My only recomendation would be to build a wall to isolate front/back. The noise is unbareable for me. Dad don't care, he's deaf enough to not mind.

There's also that "safety" thing to.
