Abstract
A supplemental chassis platform comprising a box structure is rigidly mounted to travel trailer chassis main rails. The supplemental platform assumes the role of axle support from the chassis rails, where a plurality of cross beams cooperate to form a framework that supports the axle assembly outside of the chassis' twin main rails. With the axles supported by the box section, the chassis rails' spacing can be reduced to increase the storage space available under the shell.
