[quote=oldngray;7450002]Not that's not a bad "crate on trailer" job. Here's a pic of Ollie before his first ride - it gives a good idea of how big his space is. He looks *much* happier now when we stick him in the cockpit. I've got to get a pic of the tandem with the trailer - we're about 12.5' long, so we kind of stick out. People smile when they see us coming; then they see the dog looking out the back window and start laughing. We did hit our first big hill last night and had to use the granny gear - yeah, I'm one of the idiots who hates to use the smallest chain ring. I hope that I never have to walk the dog up a hill in the trailer....
....anyway, we're having fun and probably getting a better workout.



The crate has better ventilation, which was important in this case. But, a lot of usefull space is lost. It's nice to have all the space of the unmodified trailer. We only use the trike anyway. It has a few advantages over the trailer. The advantage of the trailer is, it folds up and can fit in the car.
