Hi guys,
Mike, I called Carry On Trailers directly (not TSC) and that was who I was speaking with about a 5x8. And, just a bit more info...the order# to talk to TSC about is 5x8NF--that's what you tell them you want to order from Carry On. Andrew's thought about suggesting a 'standard' TD frame to them is an interesting one. Maybe call it the TTT frame <g> I don't think sponsorship is far fetched--good will and all that...
Larry, what you said about the steel is reassuring. I thought that the floor frames would certainly 'reinforce' the angle stuff on the TSC, and add some to the C channel on the RT, though perhaps not so much.
I was surprised, I guess, by what you said about TSC being responsible for final assembly.I had assumed the frame, including the tongue was welded. Would have thought the lights etc would be factory installed...but then for all I know final assembly at destination my be the norm in the trailer business.
And, I owe MJ an apology. His perfectly sensible reference to 33-36 inches being acceptable for a T build got messed up by my reply about a 37' measure on the TSC. Where the hell did I get that number, you ask?
Well, 5 years ago I had a benign brain tumor (not sure what good it did me, I would ditch the term 'benign' and substitute 'nasty' which isn't as bad as malignant) which,though I got it fixed did do some damage...and I can get numbers, letters wrong sometimes if I hurry...in short there are some shorts upstairs that I gotta be careful of....<g>
Thanks again for the input,
Jim
