i put a coat of Rustoleum "Hammered enamel" on mine for rust protection.
looks great and seems durable too.

Thanks, I called a local TS and got some info on it. But the biggest Plus that I found is that it comes WITH a TITLE. Which in Pa. means no photos, ya don't have to get it weighed, No dragging it to an inspection station and paying for that, in short NO BULL getting tags. In Pa...thats a lot. I'm going to look at the frame Tues. and hopefully I'll come home with a few. The web site for the manufacturer is
Carry-ontrailers.com
But they really don't have any info on it there either.
Happy Trails

Len,
Are you sure that Link is correct? I run into a dead-end from every direction I try to hook into it.
carry-ontrailer.com

yes the trailers come with a title and a vin number attached.
But here is how it works...........
Lets say that Tractor Supply has 4 of the 4 x 8 no floor trailers.
none of them will have a vin number on them as they sit in the lot.
when you purchase one the clerk will come out with a sticker that
attaches to the trailer that will have your vin number.
Keep in mind that this sticker is NON REMOVEABLE. if you remove it
all you will see is the word "VOID".
So if your planning on painting or welding on the tongue think before hand
where you want that sticker.
I told the clerk that I planned on painting my trailer right away and she was kind enough to just hand it to me so I could attach it after I painted.
(probably not supposed to do that but I thanked her).
At least that was my experience.
hope it helps...

I forgot to mention...........
I had a problem with one tire not holding air.
seems it was leaking at the valve stem where it comes out of the rim.
I sent Carry-On an email explaining my problem and
3 days later I had a complete tire and rim delivered via UPS at no charge to me.
to me that is exceptional customer service.

I'd suggest you get the tags immediately for a "Utility Trailer"!

Always, always, always tag it as a utility trailer. Don't EVER give your State a chance to Scrutinize your work. According to them what we do to utility trailers to make them Teardrops CAN'T BE DONE! And therefore must be inspected by someone else who has never done it, and has no idea how to. All for a FEE! Pa. is a nightmare, check previous posts on Pa. titling.
Happy Trails

In regards to the TSC trailer, do any of you that have used it or plan to use it plan to move the axle, or just go as is?
Thanks

I've been looking at these frames for some time. There's a TSC store next to my gym. When I press on a corner, it tweaks in that direction. Do y'all think that the body will add enough stiffness? Also, how do you plan on fastening the body to the angle iron facing upward?
If I can work out these details, I will probably use this frame for prototyping, or a "basic" woody, built for spec...right Len???

How about dropping your floor inside the angle. You could attach it from the top down or thru the side of the angle.

After building with the body hanging over the frame, I'll never build any other way! I thought about placing the floor in the frame, but, I can't see how to fasten the walls without screws/bolts showing.
