Materials for the exterior of their trailers?

Postby vulcman2007 » Fri Apr 30, 2010 3:23 pm

What's everyone using for the exterior of their trailers. I'm assuming it would be a lite gauge aluminum sheeting, in order to make the curves. Any advice of where to find the material and best ways to attach it are more than welcome.

Thanks!

BTW: I'm considering using a 7'X14' landscape trailer to build a toy hauler, by building a small sleeping quarters on the front with a fold down bed, counter and electric. (kind of a poor-mans build)

I've drawn-up some plans that I will copy to my computer and post.

Not sure this is the right place for this post, try re-posting in the Construction section, you will probably get more hits over there.

Actually this is a fine place to post. But I fixed your subject line a little.

I was talking to a lad recently near here and he was using this stuff.

1/8" thick signboard and very rigid, he had a couple of sheets in red which I think would look stunning. I imagine he was doing the roof in ally sheet, I should have asked him.
