Dealer called...

Postby sactoller » Thu Sep 23, 2010 8:44 pm

The dealer called to day and my 7x14 V-nose is done. I will be picking it up tomorrow! :D

Then the work will start! :shock:

I will start into it on Sunday. I will take my measurements and order my windows, converter panel, lights.

Here are a couple...One of the best things is, I don't have to duck to get in.

They made a mistake and added 12" height instead of just 6".

Very nice! What is the height of the ceiling? I want to order a trailer as short as posible, yet still be able to add an awning above the door. ~steve

Sweet! So its 7' tall?? Dealer told me that all of the 7' wides came 6'6" so if you added 6" thats how you got 7'. What color is that?
I just ordered my 7x12 today in charcoal with a ramp gate and the floor insulated.
Also do you know how much your's weights?

Awesome trailer! I'll be following your build

It is 84" inside, so lots of room. There is not enough room above the door. You could request the 6' door and then you would have plenty of room.

I thought that too, but when I spoke with a couple different dealers, they said it was 6'. I called the dealer and he confirmed the 6' basic height.

The color is champagne, kind of goes with my truck.

I will have to check on the weight. Good call on insulating the floor, thought about it, but have some plans and insulation would just make a mess.
