30 ga is a lot thinner that 24 ga. But a single sheet or a side with rolled seams is better that several small panels screwed or riveted together. On anything, enclosed trailer, RV, etc. less seams means less leaks down the road. A better gauge of quality is looking at the frame, how it's welded, how many cross beams, how the tongue is attached. Also check the wiring, I've seen some nightmare wiring jobs on brand new trailers.

Beauty of trailers is even a lower end trailer is still built to provide many years of great service! It will work great for you for a very long time! Congrats on your new trailer. And when I made the video the difference in price between low and high levels was a small margin cost wise. Today that margin is 3 times what it was. If I were buying a new trailer today I'd be buying a lower level trailer as well due to costs.

I plan on converting it to a mobile car was to make some side cash. I’m about to epoxy the floor so it preserves the plywood floor just in case of any water leaks. But I noticed like he said I got the aluminum corner they put in to cover the gaps. The frame is just painted. Which already is getting scratched from opening and closing the door. I do notice that the walls look thin and the rock guard is probably the same as he mentioned. Well hope It last for the price I paid.

I just bought a new trailer 3 weeks ago, and this is exactly the stuff the salesman (also an owner of the shop) went through. I ended up buying the better trailer for all these reasons. Not that there was anything wrong with the cheaper one, and it would server many well, but the pricier one, it's going to last a lot longer. And the warranty, what a huge difference in the warranty when you step up is quality. The very first thing I did was paint the floor and ramp with anti-slip porch paint.

Good video. The one thing you missed I think is important is the tongue length. Most of these trailers have a short tongue. This is critical when backing especially maneuvering into a tight spot. You'll see many used trailers with a crushed front and this is why. Get past 45° and your bumper hits the trailer. You can get a tongue with 24" extra length. I highly recommend it.
@SamkoTradBow

On a flat front I agree. On all my v trailers the tongue hits before the trailer body does. I 100% agree all trailer makers should test and factor this into thier tongue length they use.

One thing he didn't point out, which I learned the hard way was the tongue length. Very few "V" nose trailers have room on them to add a storage box or battery/propane tank storage box. Or to mount a spare tire. If you're gonna do a camper conversion this is pretty important. Who wants to store a spare tire inside in a camper? And keeping propane inside is definitely not a good idea. Also, keep in mind you will probably want to get rid of those China bomb tires, so factor in that cost.

I’ve been pulling a trailer of some sort (14’ to 53’!) all across this country for work for almost 20 years. All of what you talk about matter for build quality and durability. However, if you’re going to use it for more than just around town (like long distance trips), the absolute MOST important thing to me by far is oil-bath bearings and heavy duty axles. In my opinion almost every single trailer axle has inadequate grease bearings. They’re too small and take a POUNDING on the crappy roads. Physically larger bearings in an oil bath are almost mandatory if you plan on putting lots and lots of miles on it yearly.

@bowhuntingsoul2149 3 жыл бұрын
@@SamkoTradBow if you mean “buddy bearings”, be careful with those. They’re convenient to squirt grease into the hub/bearings but it gives a false sense of confidence. I’ve seen perfectly greased bearings disintegrate and come apart. Then the inner bearing race welds itself to the axle stub. That’s fun outside Winnemucca, NV at night... The biggest culprit for bearings is getting dirt or grit into them just driving down the road. No amount of hub seal or grease cap keeps it out. The grit wears away the surface treatment of the bearing rollers, pitting them. Once that starts, it’s just a matter of time, regardless how much grease you squirt into in through a zerk fitting. There is NO substitute for taking the hub off, cleaning and inspecting the bearings and races and re-greasing them. Now, if you’re taking a few trips a year it’s no big deal. Do it yearly and you’re good. If you’re towing something for a thousand miles each way every couple of weeks you need to step up the maintenance. I really wish buddy bearings didn’t exist lol.

Years ago I bought my first enclosed trailer and it was before KZbin and Internet access as we know it now I went nuts making sure I got all the options and upgrades some of those were Suspension and Radial tires For a better ride I figured out very quickly that I don’t ride inside that trailer so most of those things were a waste of money now I only worry about making sure I get the right size and axle ratings I need many of the other things I can fabricate and install my own self what I do like to do on my new Cargo trailers right away is install a vinyl floor covering and paint and caulk all the walls inside because that helps to keep the trailer cleaner I am also a big fan of Etrack because of all the available tie downs and products that make it all very flexible for securing all kinds of loads the featured trailer you showed does have some nice standard features like the framing for the vents or air conditioning mostbmanufacturers charge for those the light and switches are also nice items to have too but with the Internet now those items are pretty easy and reasonable to buy too Honestly I like to put a 12 volt battery with solar charger some power outlets and overhead lighting I’m also a retired Woodworker so I build my own shelving and storage cabinets to keep things organized I also put my own Puck lock assemblies on all doors as I knew a few guys that had their trailers broken into and everything inside stolen Sure Puck locks have their own weaknesses but they are more of a deterrent for a potential thief to pass over my trailer and go on to another one ? My Dad always told me Locks keep the honest people out the Theives know how to Bypass all of the other detergents heck with the Internet KZbin has plenty of videos on how to open various locks without the keys

A typical "RV door" will have piano hinges and pull latches and deadbolt flush mounted locks. I also looked for the axle manufacturer that -- I -- wanted. I found a trailer that looked really nice and almost ordered it until I found out it had LIPPERT axles instead of DEXTER. That alone was the deal breaker. Frame tube size is also important where most trailers will skimp on tubing dimensions used for the frame. I went with the 6" high frame tube for my 7X14 enclosed trailer. It's a "bit" heavier, but WAAAAAAAAy more rigid. And as you said, also look for 16" on-center ribs floor AND walls. You'll be glad you did.

When I’ve bought mine I’ve gone direct through a manufacturing shop; I like being able to choose frame member sizes and spacing. I’ve bought quite a few trailers all with 3M adhered sides 16” on center square tube, 1/8”x 1 1/2’ sides and 1/8” x 2” floor joists on 12” center with 1/4” 2”x4” main tubes. All trailers were 7.5’x16’ V-nose with 6’9” interior height with 3/4” CDX tongue and groove (C down) and 1/2” AC over that with VCT vinyl tile over it. Ramp doors and LED lights. I don’t recall the company we use but it’s in Georgia. All trailers were 7,000 lb w/ 2 3,500 lb axles, both with breaks. The trailers were all $3,200 to $3,800 pre-Covid. Interiors were 1/2” AC on walls and I think 1/4” luaun on the ceilings. We simply add 120v and storage and use them for out construction company. I recall looking at a similar trailer at a local dealer for around $7k and thinking what a rip off.

Yep trail prices are so crazy right now! Honestly if it doesn't shift back some then I'm going to start building trailers. The materials are not that high still and there is no reason for thier almost triple price from a year ago. This is stupid. I might start a trailer manufacturing company and sell them for 30% less than competition and with all the features I talk about in the video! The trailer market is crazy.

That's not rust its a chemical protectant that thry put on the cables and springs inside the ramp door. They all jave that from the factory and it drips down from the spring system a little until you start using the door and work it in.

If your pulling the trailer with the deeper v nose behind a motorhome with a ladder to the RV roof. You are more likely to smash the ladder and poke holes in the nose of the trailer when backing up to turn the motor home around .

It was a back and forth with the two of them. I wonder how they been getting away with this or is there an agencies I can go to?
