Is it okay to use a trailer that has rails?

[friz]

how is it you think you know what the OP actually has?

'Cause I've looked at a lot of those trailers from various manufacturers when I was building a utility trailer. (And no, I didn't use angle.)

This is where I draw the line... the ol' Pico Light concept:

On your side of the argument, I thought about mounting the spring pockets and tongue directly to the floor of my camper. Getting rid of the frame altogether. In my case, the frame hides all the stuff I mounted underneath. It also gives a place to mount the lights and my precious.....bottle opener.

we use the light weight frame on are rentals 520 lbs trailers .it works be it for the rectangle shape of the tube that's why I recommend boxing it if he cuts it cuz angle iron can buckle very easy in two different planes. We have access to a rocket engineer . Fortunately this is his trailer . If things go to s*** it's his problem not ours so I just hope he contemplates and looks at pluses and minuses and he has no issues. https://web.archive.org/web/20160331004 ... ight-1.pdf
