But not tall and wide enough. :S

That one has 6'-6" interior height. How tall do you want it? A 7' tall cargo trailer will be unusual. Aluma trailers have plywood lined walls, according to their web site. You could tear them out and put in some Azdel.

It sounds like you want to avoid wood construction to avoid any maintenance. I just had all the roof seams on my toy hauler re-caulked at an RV repair shop. I think it's not a difficult job if you know how. It probably takes some practice. They recommend getting up on the roof every 3 months to inspect the seams for cracks, and replacing all the caulking every two years. I would be surprised if even the aluminum trailers don't have some caulked seams.

You're not likely to find exactly what you want in a used trailer. Either have one custom built or modified, or make some compromises.

Thanks atwowheelguy. It was more the width of the trailer I linked that wasn't wide enough. Height was OK..

I redid the roof caulk on my toyhauler.. It was a pain scraping it all and cleaning down to the aluminum, but after days, it got done.. All seventy feet of it.

Cargo's dont have as many penetrations to the envelope and are less likely to leak. My leaks on the featherlite were mainly windows and roof. But I did find one I had no idea was leaking and weakened the floor right under the propane vent.

I will say it again.. Eventually all trailers leak and its only a matter of time before any wood is damaged.

I dont mind compromising. If I keep looking I might finally find one.
