Well, I finally made a go of it.  It isn't an insayn trailer build... and it isn't quite finished - I still have to cut off a board with a hand saw.  The upside is my conversion cost me $20.  For the observant... the boards are NOT held on my duct tape.  The tape is covering giant hose clamps.  I wanted to avoid drilling into the trailer.

   Looks like you've got a good start.
   Keep us posted on your progress.
Life is short---live it tall.

Be kinder than necessary--- everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

Sailors may be struck down at any time, in calm or in storm, but the sea does not do it for hate or spite.
She has no wrath to vent. Nor does she have a hand in kindness to extend.
She is merely there, immense, powerful, and indifferent

I dig it. Looks like you could add some upper "trees" later on if necessary. More pictures please.

The top of that storage box looks like prime real estate for a large poly cutting board.
Relax. You'll live longer.

That's pretty tight Rev, but where is your pig roaster going to ride?

Whatever you do, leave some air gap so water doesn't pool up under the board. That'll prevent rust and stink.
Relax. You'll live longer.
