    These are the stop/brake/turn signal lights that I will be running on the trailer. Fully submersible lights for a boat trailer. Won't have any issues if they get wet in a water crossing.

    So since I haven't seen it: what's your goal with this? Are you going to set a RTT on it and then goods underneath? Or are you using it as a storage to go camping? Like kinda, everything is packed.

    I'm asking because my goal with mine (when started) is a RTT setup with some space for offroad to be attached. And I'm just trying to picture if I want the bars to be higher than the sides or to just have it flush like you did :)

    I plan on eventually making a lid for it that will open up sideways on some hinges and use struts to hold it up. On top of that will be some bars to hold the RTT. Inside will be fridge and all other camp gear. Basically on trips where I'm not by myself, the trailer will be the "Base Camp"
