I have no doubt c channel is strong enough if it is sized properly. But I think it will rust too, if its steel it will rust. my issue is dirt and mud can easily get on the bottom flange and hold water against the metal What I have decided to do at the point is I am going to fluid film the...

Okay so I have epoxy and pond liner ( to be used as the vac sheet ) showing up next week, I have all the foam and the skins. So it was time to built the table to do the panel laminating so why not use the trailer as the table, its flat and big enough. I bought 3/4 melamine coated particle board...

Boat anchor, garden decoration? I say list em for sale but dont be surprised if they dont sell. Scrap yard, lol, even at 100lbs you might get like 6 bucks.

forum trouble I keep getting a 503 error when logged in I cant do anything, cant see any forums cant message anyone etc.

okay to get a scale and help with the layout of stuff I built a luan side panel. Its just for scale planning at this point. There will be no wood in the frame or structure, just cabinets. There are two pics with the truck, they are taken at slightly different angles and it makes the trailer...

I am in the stage of starting to look at outside lights. I am thinking the kitchen light being white, all the others amber/yellow. As someone who severely undercooked some burgers once to a red headlamp I want the kitchen light white, but it will have its own switch.

The foam will over time separate ever so slightly as the metal expands and contracts from the sun hitting it. That will also cause air to get in to the gap and that air will have moisture, the moisture will condense on the cooler surface and not be able to get out as easily. If you have a good...

No, its a temp differential and condensation issue, moisture will get in and sit against the metal. unless you can 100% make sure its air tight it will cause rust.

Its solid until its not, like every one rolls over to the rear side of the axle and over you go.

now for solar, if your out in cloudy weather a lot, or plan on running your panels remote so you can keep them in the sun, get a mppt solar charger. Its then very simple to connect the solar charger to the battery with an appropriate sized fuse. The fridge your planning will be your largest...

First I am a master electrician and I used to do a lot of power on sailboats so I am a pretty good idea of what works. First I would save the money and go lifepo4, a 100 ah battery will have the same capacity as your 200 amp agm, and weight a 100 lbs less. Next applies to what ever battery you...

Looks good, I will point out one thing. The stabilizes work much better when you put them at 45 degrees in the corners. When building my trailer I put them in like you did and tested em. the trailer swayed like no tomorrow when I stood on it. I went "no wonder every puts them at an angle". I...

I like you approach for the power set up, its a nice compact solution that is perfect for your setup. Here is a power level meter that will recommends, its pretty cheap and gives you an indication of power level whether its charging or discharging. it will give you the amperage your getting...

Well we can all agree to disagree or keep swinging our purses at each other. I went with torflex, because its not a bouncey stock trailer spring axle setup. Yes I could have gone to different springs and shocks, but that is not off the shelf, its semi custom. Yes I know parts are not hard to...

Looking good Jess. I was wondering what you where going to with the bottom edge of the walls, thats why I am doing mine with the angle iron that is big enough for the whole panel to sit on. I really appreciate you and your build, it is giving me things to do and things not to do. And I dont...

If galvanizing was only a few hundred bucks I might do it, I dont know what it actually costs. If I thought I could get a complete coverage of the inside of the frame with a coating I might leave it open to drain, but I know I would not be able to get a complete coverage with out dipping the...

Okay my frame is all 2x3 rect tube. I have a few spots I have put 1/2" round tubes in thru the side of the rect tube to be able to use the frame to run wires. But I know tubes can ( will ) rust from the inside out ( I own an old tacoma ), my plan is to use the wire entrance tubes to spray...

My recommendations is to take the deck plate off, and weld it up. I dont know what they plate weighs but if you weld it you wont need the plate. What size it the deck, I dont think you ever said 4x8?

That trailer will be IED rated. As for raising it up bolt ( weld ) on some 2x3 rect tube where the axles go, that will lift you 2 inches.

Okay I found some lug nuts that work with toyota allow rims and 1/2 20 studs. They are just over half the cost for the currie lugs bolts, but sense you may need to buy lug nuts anyway they are less than half price. Its 20 nuts for 39 bucks plus tax, and sense they are not an off the local auto...
