I see now - the off road trailers can start at $43k  like this one:
Might have a couple more options, in terms of electrical components etc, but 5 times what you built yours for and yours is likely just as capable off road.

I plan to build another one, hopefully this winter, but some changes.
- Instead of the sloped back I will go square without a slope. I lost a lot of potential storage space going with a sloped back, which I was aware of, but didn't realize how that would affect other aspects of the trailer as well.
- Current is 5x8 but I think I'll go with 5x10 so I can build slide-out storage in the rear, slide out battery and tool storage in the front, and still maintain a 6.5-7ft bed. This would also allow me to build the battery storage area into an interior seat, or table.
- Drop the roof 8-10 inches to help with fuel economy and combat some of the additional weight, and to make up some of that lost interior height I will build the floor into the frame of the trailer vs on top of the frame like I did with this one.
- Water storage will either be built into walls and frame, or still be underneath but thinner and spread out more so it doesn't have as large of a profile.
- Plumbing built in a little better so I can have easier hookups for a portable water heater without taking up rear storage space.
