 Has anyone enclosed the front of their trailer to hide the bottles, batteries, etc?   Any idea what this would cost to have done?

Location: Rayne, LA		A friend did this with a piece similar to a tarp with snaps around the perimeter. An unholstery dealer sewed a hem at the edges and put snaps on

Location: South Central OK		You can have it done at a trailer shop or good welder.  I've seen rollup type doors and swing open cabinet type doors.  You'll still want to bottom to havve the ability to drain liquids and have some air circulation.  Always make sure you can get to your spare tire while still hooked-up to the truck for roadside emergencies.

Location: Zionsville, Indiana		When a trailer is built that is to have the jack wall enclosed, length is added to the gooseneck.  Lack of this extra length could be a problem when retrofitting.  Be sure to figure the area the rear corners of the truck bed use when turning sharp.

Location: missouri		Ours is enclosed from the factory. Aluminum tread plate with hydo lifts and lock.... about a $2,500 add to a custom trailer. I really like it.
