A trailer is provided with extendable and retractable left and right axle portions slidably supported within an axle sleeve, and hinged side panels to facilitate conversion of the trailer between a full size mode and a compact mode. In the full size mode, the left and right axle portions are extended and locked to position left and right tires at maximum separation, and the side deck panels are lowered to be generally co-planer with a center deck panel arrangement for towing behind a conventional vehicle. A front panel hinges between a raised position and a lowered position. In the compact mode, the left and right axle portions slide inwardly, within the sleeve, and lock into place to position the left and right tires closer together. The side panels and front panel swing upwardly to be generally perpendicular to the center deck panel assembly, forming a box. Left and right ramps are cooperatively structured to provide a cover and a rear wall to fully enclose the formed box. In the compact mode, the trailer can be towed behind a lightweight vehicle, such as an ATV, motorcycle or golf cart.
