Here's a link to the trailer I just finished myself, by far the nicest one I have done yet. It is for sale and advertised on this site.

That is an excellent job. Very comparable to an over $50,000 new LQ trailer.

Sometimes it's amazing what a Redneck can do with an adjustable wrench and a cutting torch.

It does have torsion axles, as far as weight goes I don't know for sure, I would quess it to be between 8K-10K that is just a guess.

My hat's off to you... You have done a great job. Hope you have patted yourself on the back. Do you have another project in line. If so I can't wait to see it.

Thanks for all the kind words, N2 if we have twin bulldogs I hope you got the smart one, because if you notice in that picture I have 2 dogs, 1 a Blue Heeler(smartest animal I've ever been around) and 2 an English Bulldog(lets just say he is at the opposite end of the intelligence scale). But we appreciate him for what he is.

 

As far as the next trailer hopefully a 12'-14' shortwall, Black Skinned and a slideout. Any of you dealers sitting on an 06' shell, let me know.

Thanks, As far as the certification goes, I checked with both RVIA and T. Arnold about these trailers a couple of years ago. RVIA(basicly owned by Fleetwood) is pretty much a money racket you pay a membership fee based on the number of units you are going to do, needless to say that was going to be very high for me. T. Arnold will certify the trailers individually, the inspection was only $600 but the closeset inspector for me was in Elkhart, I asked what they inspect, he said they do a leak test(with air just as plumbers do in a new home) and a Di-electric test(electrician friend says that is to check for shorts to ground in basic english). So I haven't had the justification of having a trailer inspected yet. But will gladly have this one inspected for an extra $600(plus mileage) on the sale price, If it turned out to be a deal breaker.

But I will certify the trailer is gorgeous.

HW,

Off Topic, but our Bulldog "Smudge Pot Crutchfield"  is one step above a moron.  Our last Bulldog "Bumper", was so smart it was scarry.  But this poor boy is covered up with stupid.  But we do love him.  Snores ALOT louder than the other one (maybe because he's a male??).  You call his name, and he looks everywhere, but at you.  Just can't figure out who may have called his name.

Gotta love em!!

I'm in Kentucky that seems like a pretty good job in a BP?
