A trailer comprising:

• a trailer bed frame assembly comprising at least first and second frame sections hingedly connected together and pivotable between a folded configuration wherein the at least first and second frame sections extend in overlapping alignment and an unfolded configuration wherein the at least first and second frame sections extend in planar alignment;
• when said at least first and second frame sections are positioned in the unfolded configuration, the trailer bed frame assembly having left and right sides each having front and rear ends;
• left and right tension member supports pivotably connected to the left and right sides respectively of the trailer bed frame assembly medially between the respective front and rear ends of the left and right sides such that the left and right tension member supports are pivotable between a retracted position in which the left and right tension member supports extend in parallel alignment adjacent the left and right sides respectively of the trailer bed frame and an extended position extending upward from the trailer support frame in the unfolded configuration;
• a left, front tension member supported at an inner end on the left tension member support in spaced relation above the trailer bed frame assembly when the left tension support member is pivoted to the extended position and connected at a forward end to a left side of the trailer bed frame assembly forward of the left tension member support;
• a left, rear tension member supported at an inner end on the left tension member support in spaced relation above the trailer bed frame assembly when the left tension support member is pivoted to the extended position and connected at a rearward end to a left side of the trailer bed frame assembly rearward of the left tension member support;
• a right, front tension member supported at an inner end on the right tension member support in spaced relation above the trailer bed frame assembly when the right tension support member is pivoted to the extended position and connected at a forward end to a right side of the trailer bed frame assembly forward of the right tension member support;
• and
• a right, rear tension member supported at an inner end on the right tension member support in spaced relation above the trailer bed frame assembly when the right tension support member is pivoted to the extended position and connected at a rearward end to a right side of the trailer bed frame assembly rearward of the right tension member support.

A trailer comprising:

• a trailer bed frame assembly comprising at least first and second frame sections hingedly connected together and pivotal between a folded configuration wherein the at least first and second frame sections extend in overlapping alignment and an unfolded configuration wherein the at least first and second frame sections extend in planar alignment;

• left and right tension member supports connected to and extending upward from the left and right sides respectively of the trailer bed frame assembly in the unfolded configuration and positioned medially between the respective front and rear ends of the left and right sides;
• a left, front tension member supported at an inner end on the left tension member support in spaced relation above the trailer bed frame assembly and connected at a forward end to a left side of the trailer bed frame assembly forward of the left tension member support;
• a left, rear tension member supported at an inner end on the left tension member support in spaced relation above the trailer bed frame assembly and connected at a rearward end to a left side of the trailer bed frame assembly rearward of the left tension member support;
• a right, front tension member supported at an inner end on the right tension member support in spaced relation above the trailer bed frame assembly and connected at a forward end to a right side of the trailer bed frame assembly forward of the right tension member support;
• and
• a right, rear tension member supported at an inner end on the right tension member support in spaced relation above the trailer bed frame assembly and connected at a rearward end to a right side of the trailer bed frame assembly rearward of the right tension member support;
• and
