My build of Benroy Style Trailer

[AlgoDan]

Yesterday was a slow day, I pre-drilled all the hole in the roof edge mldg and cut to length. Today I plan on laying down the aluminum on the roof, I will just use a sealant on the outer edges and a few temporary screws while it sets up...

[AlgoDan]

Ok Happy Easter to all, I did get the roof laid down with sealant and temporary screws. The sealant will set up within 24-48hrs. So this week I will get the end caps powder coated and final welding of the tongue and A-Frame braces.

[AlgoDan]

Today I will work on hooking up my 12volt wiring to fixtures/switches and outlets. Then move on to securing the roof vent in place. I will try to check off the list as each day passes, I hope.

Ok got the Roof vent installed and caulked. Also most of the 12volt wiring hooked up...

Alright now time to connect up to switch panel....need to get more wire connectors, ran short. Also need to re-label switches

[AlgoDan]

Ok the final welding of the A-frame and tongue are complete. I need to run the wires through the frame, mount the coupler, hang the suspension and locate the axle....still waiting for wheels and fenders.

Slick!

Any reason why you didn't extend the 'A' part of the tongue out further?

[AlgoDan]

I only wanted it out enough for a storage box on the front, with 1/4'' thick tongue and 3/16''thick A -frame its a plenty. I figure when done the dry weight should come in at 600lbs./900lbs loaded.approx.

So do you use the anchor and bilge pump switches much

I’m just wondering if you’re really gonna need an anchor or bilge pump.

[AlgoDan]

Yes in case I wander into the lake, maybe a paddle too. lol...
