Did you know Santa makes his rounds in a Dinoot trailer?

Kyle Lanier's Extended decorated for Christmas.

Did a Fiberglass Lid ever be built for these or the Army style trailer????

Because I designed the Jeep-tub (Dinoot) trailer to be made in different lengths, rather than do a one-piece fiberglass lid for it, I designed components that match the curves of the tub and are assembled as a frame with a plywood center. Here are a few photos of the prototype before painting:

And after painting:

Since the military trailer is only one length, I made a full fiberglass cover for it.

Both are strong enough to support a roof-top tent.

Living Overland recently posted a good article about building a Jeep-tub Dinoot trailer: http://www.livingoverland.com/2018/04/building-dinoot-trailer.html

The black trailer on the dinoot site. How long is it? It's looks like 7 foot or so?

Are you asking about the black one on this page? https://www.dinoot.com/models/j-series/

That's the "Dinoot Extended" model, and it's 6 1/2' long. Dinoot Jeep-tub trailers come in two lengths - 4 1/2' or 6 1/2'. Longer ones are possible, one variation known as a "Double Dinoot" is made from a 4 1/2' Dinoot kit plus two extra side panels (everything bolts together) to result in a tub about 8 1/2' long.

Thanks. It looks about the perfect size for what I need.
