Sorry for the cross post, but some of you don't hit MUD very often. I figured out a fairly cheap way to build a camp trailer out of a harbor freight 3x3 trailer. Take a look http://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=107748
What I do need help wiht is what to build the main storage box out of on the deck. Ply wood is heavy but thin metal (like an outside storage shed) would flex too much in the pressure of freeway speeds. Any suggestions (and I am on a tight budget).

I made an adjustable tongue for mine out of 2X2 and whatever it fits inside of ... basically the tounge is 3 feet when collapsed and 6 when extended.

nice write up
