True, but I'm talking about a regular trailer just short front to back and it loads from the side so your toy rides 'sideways' ...
these guys quoted me a reasonable price for a 8 wide x 5 long trailer so the overall length was just 7 foot or so with hitch etc... and could have done 4' with the right cart....
the cart was longer than the 8' if you take overall length, but the wheelbase fit nicely....and 8'6" is a legal width so would have worked out if we had done it...
basically they just turned the bed 90 degrees on the axle/frame rails/hitch !
