Trailer Built Out Of Dodge Caravan

Trailer Built Out Of Dodge Caravan WAGONS/TRAILERS Miscellaneous 30-5-35 Worn-out mini vans make great trailers, says A.G. Bagwell, Tolono, Ill., who built this trailer out of an old Dodge Grand Caravan. It has an aerodynamic, V-shaped front end which makes it easy to pull behind almost any car. "It hauls anything light and can be used as a sleeper, too," says Bagwell. He started with a 1980's Dodge Caravan. He removed all the seats and then cut the entire front end off behind the front doors, leaving just the body and rear wheels. Then he closed up the van by welding together three pieces of sheet metal into a V shape and welded it onto the van's open front end. He also installed a tongue made out of 3-in. channel iron and a trailer hitch. Access is provided by a sliding door on one side of the van and by the back door. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, A.G.
