Extending the floor of a trailer

I dare not tell you what the box will look like. However, very clever people should be able to guess!

Do they even have B&Q's in NZ?

Well, I'm guessing it will have a mock pantograph or other electrical pick-up on the roof. ;-)

Oh that would be ridiculous, but it might have a chimney, purely for my camp stove of course!

How are you going to link the con-rods to the wheels? ;-)

It's a trailer. Now I'll have to think about a suitable 1890s car to tow it with.

Shirly you mean a traction engine.

We still sometimes make/adjust trailers in (.ie) A trailer should be balanced with a slight inclination to the front. Balanced over the axles, Therefor if you have 4' extra behind the axles, the balance is completely off, and with a load, will be _removing_ weight from the front, and diminishing the control the towing vehicle has over the trailer. (_BAD_) (I have seen 16' trailers with some sheep in, if the sheep are not tight, they might all run to the back of the trailer, and going around a roundabout, you would lose control of the trailer, which is why most long trailers have in internal gate.)

(Luckily , in this case, the trailer hit a sign when it broke loose)
