I'm selling a farmstead that has a trailer van on it for storage. It's an eyesore and no one wants it. I understand that the sides and roof give it rigidity, but could I remove those and use about half the length of the floor as a bridge over an old low water crossing? I just need a place for the gator to cross so we aren't talking much weight. I looked underneath and it doesn't have any beams running the length of it, but uses a wood floor and aluminum cross beams at about a foot on center. Without the wood there is no structure for the floor so I was going to use bridge planking as a "flooring" with the old van floor to contain it. If I bolted it down to the cross members would it have any more strength than just the planks by themselves? I'm just shade tree thinking this morning about what to do with the stupid thing and I've been meaning to have a way to get across that wash out.
