Possible Trailer for my RT?

[Cavman]

I have a small utility trailer that I modified some years ago in the last century. The platform deck is 40" x 48". The fenders sick out another 6" on each side. The tires are about 15" in diameter. The box that I build is about three feet tall. On the right side, one of the boards swings down to the outside for easy loading. It also has at top hinged at the front and locks at the back with two hasps and padlocks. The tongue adds another three feet to the length.

I originally built it for toting scuba tanks, scuba gear, camping gear, coolers and such to free up the back of my older pickup for sleeping in. The stuff put in the trailer, it didn't matter if it got wet. I haven't used the trailer in years for what it was designed for, so why not convert it to something and I can make use of?

I have been thinking of taking the wood sides off and maybe bolting some sort of container on to the bed and towing that behind my Spyder? I don't want to go to the expense of purchasing another trailer since I own this one. I think it takes a 1-7/8" ball hitch?

Any thoughts on this idea? Good, bad or ugly?
I will take a photo of what I have and post it here.

The important things to remember (and consider) are that the total loaded trailer does not weigh over 400 lbs., that the tongue weight does not exceed 40 lb., and that you can balance/load it to provide adequate minimum tongue weight...usually 15 lbs or at least 10%-15% of the total loaded trailer weight. Those numbers are for the RT and BRP hitch, but they are good guidelines. If you can meet them, you should do fine.
