Usually the interior is uber cool, German westy design w lots of unique features. The westy safety hitch w emergency brake are low tech slick.
I had a simple trailer shipped to moi by a client who paid $3000 for it, $600 to ship to moi, $1100 for a 1 off custom tilt cover for it, then I charged him to tow it behind my westy to ca for him to restore the trailer.
That Canadian westy trailer is much cooler/useful if it has the og interior. Otherwise, it would be hard to find og pieces to replace. Someone in the split  bus crowd is drooling over that gem if they have seen it?

Ymmv,

Mr. Bz-great weekend project?
