I got a cargo trailer :D

I found this forum from thumpertalk(dirtbike forum). It has been very helpful in many ways! Great ideas to borrow! I hope to add some good ideas in the near future.

Onward to the pics...

Trailer is a 7 x 16 TA. I had the factory add a few things to help me with time.....very limited!
They put in A/C, insulation, a finished ceiling, and the power package(lifeline, outlets, and lights, oh yeah, also windows!) Although, they flubbed the windows. I wanted one on each side, not both on one side. Oh well!

I had a chance to work on it Saturday(went riding Sunday.) I put in some vinyl flooring( cheapish stuff from lowes with pretty high marks for durability) and some paneling and paint!

Craziest thing, I had some extra brick paneling so I did the ramp. It probably won't last, but that's ok. The paneling is not slippery, but with dirtbikes, dirt and mud makes things slippery, so I put this exterior waterproofer on the ramp paneling, I also added a bunch of anti-slip into the waterproofer.......the paneling looks and feels like real brick...no kidding!! Has the same grit feel and visual look.


Next step bathroom!! :twisted:

Why would anyone think you wanted two windows on one side and none on the other? :beer:

I wonder who was at fault worker who installed, or one who ever took your order marked it wrong :thinking:

another one can still be installed on other side at least you have great view :thumbsup:

I agree about two windows on one side. Add another yourself on the other side and enjoy your view.

Now that I have it I kinda like the two big windows on one side. I feels bigger, and allows me to use the full wall on the opposite side for storage, couches, beds, etc.

They knocked the price down a little. I couldn't wait for it to be corrected, was using the trailer for a trip to Georgia a day later.

Kids love the trailer so far, they play in it every night. :P

Hi B@tt

I figured something out, not sure what but it looks better. The program you recommend opens tons of spam windows on my mac , when i tried it...

sooner or latter I will get the hang of it

now its getting better without the img "tags" after the pictures....
