I got the hitch installed today, welded the reinforcement end on the square tubing. Drilling the 5/8th hole for the hitch pin was not fun to do with a hand drill. This hitch is one of two I'm going to make, I also want to make a full articulating one to use also.

what gauge metal are you using for the floor and the sides?

what gauge metal are you using for the floor and the sides?

I'm going to go with 11 or 12 gauge.

I'm going to keep the fishing theme going. I just could not bring myself to shell out Seven hundred or more for a roof top tent, I got this from Cabelas end of season clearance. Yes its a ice fishing shelter size 4x6 will fit on top of trailer lid or bed of trailer.

Man that is coming out nice.... Maybe it was asked and answered.. What kind of Tig welder are you running?

 

[clutch burner]

I'm using a miller diversion 165, with a finger tip control this is why I can tig weld the whole trailer build. No foot pedal needed.
