WOW, that's a lot of steel your putting in there, any idea how much it's adding to your gross weight?
I like
the mini stove and oven, had a neighbor that had some problems with his, turned out to be
theregulator, something to do with metric v. US orifice size or something along those lines. Sorry, it's early
and it was 4 years ago.
Overall very impressive job you're doin' there

. Lookin' forword to seein'
more of your skilled work.

Hey there Hank.
The tubing that I am using in
the trailer has 16 Ga walls (.065").
The bathroom walls (2"x1") are approx 100lbs total at 1.3 lbs per ft.
The AC stand is made from 1x1, which is .8 lbs per ft. It does add some weight, but it also add stiffness to
the trailer as a whole. When I shake
the bathroom walls, they don't budge but
the whole trailer rocks.
The bathroom is sitting on top of and in front of
the front axle, and
the AC stand is directly above, slightly forward of
the rear axle. I have my fingers crossed on
the weight distribution!
I did take it for a test ride for a good few miles at highway speeds with it mostly loaded and as it stands and it tows good. At
the very least
the trailer can take it as it has a 7k load cap, but
the tow vehicle is my only concern so far.
