This will be a new larger version, primarily for Yogi.

It's first purpose is so he can get crate-rest to help his knee heal (we hope), since he is too active outside of a crate and keeps making it worse or at least preventing it from getting better. So if I take him to work with me and keep him in the kennel-trailer, in the breakroom like I do with Tiny when she is sick (she stays on the trike), he has a better chance of healing up.
I've been pondering it over here:

since the old trailer is too small to hold even the regular crate he rests in right now when I'm home:
where you see it folded up on top of the trailer; it extends out past where the wheels would be:
To fix that, I could widen and lengthen the frame of the old trailer, but that trailer is still perfectly usable just as it is both on the trike and CrazyBike2, so this thread is to cover a whole new version.
Itll still be the same basic idea, except it'll be a flatbed that starts down below the axles, with fender frames very like that on the SB Cruiser trike, but entirely outside the flatbed frame, so that there will be a single large flat area for Yogi to lay on (and for cargo, eventually), rather than T- or hourglass-shaped area like the trike has and the other trailer would have.
There will be some flat deck area along with the fenders, too, but it isn't for the kennel, it's for strapping other stuff to, if I need the space.
Then I'll be building a "modular" wire crate style box for the top and sides, with an insulated roof to keep direct sun off of him, and can make removable insulated sides if I need them later.
I had thought at first I would build that so it could be used on the trike, too, but there's really no way to do it easily, and would require serious mods to the trike, and it would also be too wide and long for the trike, so I'm just going to do two separate ones (if I decide to do one on the trike, which I probably will eventually).
More later....
