    Might have the trailer stretched 8 or 12 foot and add camping quarters

    I wondered where you've been and what you were up to.
    Have a good trip.
    Trailer looks sweet.

    At 102", he's right at 8.5' wide. No unusual restrictions where I live.

    Yes 8.5' ( 8'6") is the widest " structural" part of the allowable width, safety equipment.. Side markers , tail lights etc can be plus 1/2" each side, check your state reg's for conspicuity strip requirement , at 102" ( 8.5') Missouri requires 50% of the length of open side trailers to have conspicuity strip above the tire height of trailer, since most trailers that wide have over tire decks, this trailer is purposely built lower so a rail which complies to the over the tire height law and seconds as a box truss was used,.. No flex in this trailer carrying the load it was designed for👍
