    No it's just a 6' interior height
    I will be hauling duck decoys and gear for hunting trips. Then when I go to transfer to a different air station this summer I will be able to move some of our household goods. The essentials at least.

    Make the work bench adjustable in height. It can double as an air mattress base/bed.

    I'm kinda into trailers as well, so consider me subscribed.

    CO detector might be a good idea if your are going to heat it with propane.

    The work bench will be up front to use as a cook top and have a little storage underneith. The propane tank will be on the exterior of the trailer and have the vent open. I havent heard of to many people have problems with the smaller mr buddy heaters

    The door will never contact the canopy the poles can extend another 5-6" from where they are in that picture. Even at that height in the picture it shouldn't contact at all, I could even come down a couple inches.

    Ya it took me a while of saying I was going to until I found a screaming deal that I could pass up and went for it, plus the fact that I transfer this year kinda gave me a big nudge as well
