Im curious as to what trailer you are going to be using, i would be afraid that if the ramp with it is to narrow then the trailor may not be ideal for taking the load safely. The more and better pictures you can give us the easier it is ta come up with some solutions.
I'm hoping to use the trailer I already have Al but where I have installed kitchen units the remaining width is about 3 inches short with the existing wheels.

Al,
Scotts trailer is almost identical to mine with the exception of the Wheel arches on mine are inside the trailer and Scotts are outside. Size and layout wise it's pretty much the same.
Cheers

Yes it's a mobile kitchen - sorry Al I thought you had seen it. It's the same as Adie's. There is a couple of feet to the back and front spare. I intend to use some ramps I have seen on eBay to load it.

Ok - I'm leaning towards shortening the legs and fitting castors on all 4 corners. When you look at other similar cookers ( stumps, gator,pitmaker etc) they all seem to have small castors. Would they be better or say 8" pneumatic tyres?

Nice idea Jim.
Did you build your own stumps clone?

I don't think they are standard items.
I'll find out next week what I get with it. Jamie should have it back. Just need the temp in Texas to improve, it's hampered some of Stubbys work.

Yes I built my Stump clone. I believe it was the first clone built. I actually phoned Stump and told him that I was planning on building it and he had no problem with that. He knew there was no fear of me competing with his production. Over the last few years I and a number of PBBQA forum members have built and helped to build quite a number of clones.
