Picked up the flooring, insulation, and interior walls and drug everything 3 hours to my buddies shop. The trailer pulled very well, no noise, no vibration, tracked straight. We planned out the dimensions (we made a far better drawing than my professional wing it drawing on the plywood) and started creating the CAD drawings to cut the supports. We will use a 14 gauge C-channel design for any corners/ends that the insulation will slide into, and a Z-channel for all supports in between. The outer skinning and interior panels will be riveted to the c-channel, and we will make our own 1-piece trim to finish it off. Toolbox will sit forward on the tongue as shown and the spare tire will sit between the box and cabin.
I was extremely fortunate to meet Mike years ago while riding motorcycle. We were the only two guys in the area with the same bike and just happened to meet in a parking lot. Ever since then we have been close friends. He is a specialized fabricator and welder and managed a motorcycle racing team for many years and I helped with bike setup and prep on race weekends, and now any project I can think up he tells me to bring it over.
