My point exactly. But it should be pointed out that the trailer can't
practically  be widened, it's an enclosed trailer and the walls are part of the
structure and tied into the frame. Buying a new one would mean Conan would have
bought 3 trailers now, the current one cost around 5K, it's pretty big.

Despite that, I think using reasonable module sizes is the way to go. What good
does the extra 5 inches do, really?
