A manually removable tailgate for a trailer which is to be coupled to the trailer either in a wall-forming configuration or a bed extending configuration. The tailgate is coupled to the trailer bed by a plug-in-socket sliding arrangement with, upon removal, relative rotation of the plug and/or the entire gate 180 degrees about an axis of the socket permitting movement from one orientation to the other.

1. An extendable trailer comprising:a bed supported on a wheel assembly; at least one gate member removably coupled to a side edge of the bed by means of at least one plug and socket device; the plug and socket device comprising: a rod extending away from a side edge of the gate member directed away from the side edge of the gate inclined at a first angle to a plane of the gate member and a socket provided on the side edge of the bed directed away from the bed inclined at an second angle to a plane of the bed and adapted to slidably and removably receive and lock the rod coaxially therein such that, in a first configuration of the gate member relative the bed, the gate member extends upwardly substantially perpendicular from the side edge of the bed defining a wall, and in a second configuration of the gate member relative the bed, the gate member extends laterally substantially parallel from the bed defining a side extension to the bed.
