I got this trailer for $150 on govplanet auction. Needed $200 in new tires and some FlexSeal to stop the roof leaking and it's good to go. It's got a wagon style chassis with pintle tongue but no ID plates.

I want more of these if I can find them, it's nicely insulated and it makes a fantastic chicken house. Just don't know what to look for. Does it have a name or number? Thanks!

Any inside pics?
More detailed outside pics?

I’ve seen these before come up for sale.
They were too big and too far away to capture my attention.

Did you look back at past sales to see if any of these were sold?

The inside I have already stripped out. It was an air conditioner mounted in the front "window" and an RV-style wraparound dinette on the opposite end. Looked like there were some equipment racks of some kind in there at some point but they had been removed before it was scrapped. Found a tag inside with a guy's name and "AVTR" which from what I understand is the tape recorders from the airplanes.

It was listed as "mobile workshop" and I couldn't find any like it in past searches.

If you could find one of these with the interior plywood in better shape it would be an easy all-weather camper conversion. There's a couple inches of fiberglass behind the walls and ceiling. The floor is done with some kind of linoleum. Door is super solid. Has a lever type parking brake but on this one the mechanism is all trashed.

No suspension? the undercarriage looks similar to a couple I have. OK on the flat stuff but difficult on any hilly stuff. extremely stout construction. use mine for moving generators and hay etc. looks like the box will make it a great chicken tractor.

It has generic leafsprings. Not a lot of ground clearance though, definitely not made for offroad.
