What are you looking for? Flatbed,sides,single axle or tandem? You could google "ATV trailers" and come up with several idea's.

I got a 17 cubic ft retail one. I works well for carrying wood, dirt etc. Bigger flotation tires help from sinking in mud. It may help to research atv trailers & decide what mods you need for your gear. Fraid I can't be more help.

depending on the use of it is how rugged it should be and how big the tires are.

We have all types of trailers ,home made and factory built we pull behind out ATVs. The best one I like is a home made 4x8 flat deck, the guy pulls it down the highway carrying his ATV behind his car with trailer wheels, then he puts on ATV wheels to the trailer and his ATV pulls the trailer with his gear in.

I have no pic of it though.

Here is others



This one is our common set up, its just a ply wood box on a frame with ATV wheels,simple light and cheap.

Yes ,our trucks can only make it so far on our 4 day fishing trips,then you have to bring everything in on ATVs.

The people on there float plane, fly in fishing trips freak out when we show up from nowhere.LOL

how well does the ply wood hold up in all of that water? Do you have any building plans?
