Gatormade Trailers?

Postby birddog1148 » Wed Aug 30, 2017 6:11 pm

Getting real close to getting a cargo trailer to equip for camping and looking at these.

https://www.gatormade.com/enclosed-cargo-trailer/

I was hoping someone may have some insight on their cargo trailers. I say equipping for camping rather than converting because I really don't want to do that much modifications to the interior so I can use it as it was intended as well. planning on using a hardwood floor coating for the walls and floor and leaving the wood the original color. I will be taking the wood down to insulated first. I have a set of the disc/cam-o bunk bed sets on order from Cabela's, slept on one of those on an Elk hunt last fall and I am satisfied with the comfort. I do plan on doing some electrical upgrades and a counter with some basic cabinets up front. And I have an idea for a canvas wall that will zip in and out to put up if I want to leave the ramp down. And I plan on permanently mounting one of the sheet metal Stack On gun cabinets in the front since one of the main reasons I want a camping rig is for hunting trips. I do plan on putting a couple windows in as well.

Well I just looked at Titan stealth se and got a price with a door window and a roof vent and brakes. The gator people don't communicate well at all...

birddog1148, Howdy;

Looks like a nice trailer to me. What is it's size, with the double axles it looks like a
7X 14, at least. Has a nice longish 'A'-frame out the front for stuff like propane, spare
tire, batteries, ya know, ... stuff.
Keep'n it simple is a nice way to go about it. Watch out for the nasty bug that nips at
ya, the one that says, weeellllll, maybe if I put this on here it won't get in the way when I
do that sort of thing. so on and on ...

Thanks, got it home tonight, used my 3.0 Ranger to pull it since the F150 needs tags. Pulled surprising easy even though it exceeded the Ranger rated capacity by about 100 lbs. Only had to go a mile and a half to get home though.ImageImageImage
