Woa! 6 1/2 X12 with 2 1/2' V-nose weighs 900 pounds?
Oh man. I shouldn't even go there.

You can get radio reception inside a non-metal trailer.

I just "went there" via email. Price, extras, and measurement questions on the 12-footer. Wife has friend with fiberglass horse trailer who claims it doesn't "weather" well. Maybe the price will get it off my mind, but I slept kinda restlessly last night. Would cell/internet reception be better than in an aluminum?

[Prem]

Jim,

I get okay cell reception in my aluminum trailer but no radio reception on either AM or FM unless I put the radio or the antenna up against a window or the skylight.

I want a vinyl cargo trailer, not fiberglass.

[Gonefishin]

I listen to my Sirius subscription via my laptop or phone, instead of am or fm. I use my phone's hotspot for both. Its usually no worse in trailer than in the truck or standing outside, but thought fiberglass might "boost" the signal a little, like being wrapped up inside an antenna or something.

Vinyl trailer?

From these guys: http://fibertechservicesinc.com/trailers.php
"Hi, the 12' 2' vee base is $4,200.00
Inside standard width is 79" Inside length is 14'
Thanks, Ken, Aerohood trailers"
Though wider, its roughly a couple grand more than my metal 6X12.

Those remind me of portable outhouses. San-O-Let or something. No, no outhouse on wheels for me.

I was gunna say the same thing, but held back.

P.S. I especially like the crushed-in fender on the left in that second photo. Bad advertising.

P.P.S. Porto-San or Honey Bucket.
