This should be a couple of photos of a 'bike' trailer I built on one of those cheap trailers you get from K-Mart or Harbor Freight. It held 6 bikes, tubs of gear, firewood, etc. As a plus you could put a canoe on top if you wanted to. It was unbolted from the trailer when not needed. It's ugly, not made from first class lumber but it worked well. (I was between VW's when this picture was taken...)
