I got a cargo trailer

I found this forum from thumpertalk(dirtbike forum). It has been very helpful in many ways! Great ideas to borrow! I hope to add some good ideas in the near future.

Onward to the pics...

Pick-up day...

Trailer is a 7 x 16 TA. I had the factory add a few things to help me with time.....very limited!
They put in A/C, insulation, a finished ceiling, and the power package(lifeline, outlets, and lights, oh yeah, also windows!) Although, they flubbed the windows. I wanted one on each side, not both on one side. Oh well!

I had a chance to work on it Saturday(went riding Sunday.) I put in some vinyl flooring( cheapish stuff from lowes with pretty high marks for durability) and some paneling and paint!

Craziest thing, I had some extra brick paneling so I did the ramp. It probably won't last, but that's ok. The paneling is not slippery, but with dirtbikes, dirt and mud makes things slippery, so I put this exterior waterproofer on the ramp paneling, I also added a bunch of anti-slip into the waterproofer.......the paneling looks and feels like real brick...no kidding!! Has the same grit feel and visual look.

Next step bathroom!! :twisted:

Why would anyone think you wanted two windows on one side and none on the other? :beer:

I wonder who was at fault worker who installed, or one who ever took your order marked it wrong :thinking:

another one can still be installed on other side at least you have great view :thumbsup:

I agree about two windows on one side. Add another yourself on the other side and enjoy your view.

Now that I have it I kinda like the two big windows on one side. I feels bigger, and allows me to use the full wall on the opposite side for storage, couches, beds, etc.

They knocked the price down a little. I couldn't wait for it to be corrected, was using the trailer for a trip to Georgia a day later.

Kids love the trailer so far, they play in it every night.

Hi B@tt

I figured something out, not sure what but it looks better. The program you recommend opens tons of spam windows on my mac , when i tried it...

sooner or latter I will get the hang of it

now its getting better without the img "tags" after the pictures....

my bad, I meant to refer to photobucket. I dont get any spam from them. and atually can use Iphoto and link albums straight from there.

sorry about the mix up. the beer is pretty cold tonight and going down smooth.
