Default _Travois_ -- A Design Challenge

_Travois_:

Mini-Van; XH chas.; 2x PR tire. SS [B; SD [B]; L [SS - SD]; Cargo: 1 sp.|100 lbs. Armor: F, L, R: 10; B: 20; T, U: 9; 2x 5-pt. CWG. $2,212; 1,080 lbs.

Opt.: rm. SD, link, 5 pts. A [B: 15]; add 1 sp.|100 lbs. Cargo. $1,817.

The challenge: Is it possible to design a usable cargo hauler on a Mini-Van trailer body? ("Usable" here defined as "at least 100 lbs. per cargo space available".)

This is what I came up with, just using "basic" weapons and items. The armor is about what one would expect for such a small vehicle -- that is: Weak; but the tires are well-protected, so one doesn't necessarily have to ditch the trailer the first time someone looks at it. The optional design is for those areas where leaving dropped weapons on the road offends local law-enforcement.

As a bonus, here's a likely tow vehicle:

_Sargasso Hauler_: Subcompact; XH chas.; Hv. susp.; Md. PP [1,400 PF]; 4x PR tire; Driver. MG [F]; Lt. Hitch. Armor: F: 20; L, R, B: 15; T: 9; U: 10; 4x 5-pt. WG. $5,724; 2,760 lbs. Acc. 10; TS: 120; HC: 3.

Decently armored for a Sub, even with the addition of a Hitch and WGs. Its weakness is attacks from the sides; 'tis a pity Subs cannot use Turrets which carry actual weapons....
