Say What You mean Mean What You Say

I re-posted here.
You can look at a Sketchup 3D Rendering of the trailer here on Chrome:
Not sure if other browsers will work.
https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/cefbfcba-a1a8-47fe-a61e-9f4f60b0435a/5X9-Bike-Trailer
When the page opens just click on the 3D Model Icon that appears when you put the cursor over the trailer and let it render for a bit. When it reappears just drag it around with your cursor and use the scroll wheel to zoom in or out. There are 9 models(the link is my bike picture) so feel free to browse other ones as well if you like.
The open rafter render is the house you see in the trailer pictures that I posted on the other thread...others are homes I have done design work on etc.

Nice design.  I like sketchup.  We used it to build 3D layouts of the base camps we were building in Iraq.  Very useful as we had all utilities built into the design, cutaways built for each structure type (including framing, electrical, HVAC, etc.), roads, perimeter, etc.

Lacking a drafter/surveyor in the company, we had a few guys who trained on this program and were very capable with it.

Looks good...   cooldude Only one question, why not a drop down 'Ramp Door', rather than the two swinging doors?

Just when the highway straightened out for a mile
And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Conform, go crazy, or ride a motorcycle...

I considered that but I do use this trailer for hauling tools and material as well, so for example, if I have 50-2/4 X 14' loaded, I can partly close the doors against the material. The deck is 9'-8" long in middle section. A ramp door is a problem as soon as you have anything longer than the deck. I use a tri-fold aluminum quad ramp that I hang on the side wall. It's about 6"X16"X7' when folded. Loading the bike is easy with this 4 foot wide ramp...no scary moments.
