| Abstract: |
The collapsible trailer described herein has a top adapted to mate with the upper edges of removable end and side wall panels. When the trailer is collapsed, the top mates directly with the bed of the trailer, thus forming a storage container for the wall panels. In addition, a readily removable wheel assembly is provided. The wheel normally is pivotable, but can be locked against pivoting when desired.
