We took our little trailer out for its first test tow today. It towed very well, but my left turn signal malfunctioned. I'll have to troubleshoot that tomorrow.

I have considered using cargo style netting for my cabinets, and I like the style you have used. Mind giving a little more detail on where you got it and how you installed it?

TIA. :thumbsup:

KCStudly I bought the cargo net from this website: http://www.organizedobie.com/

They have lots of different sized pre-made kits. I buy just the netting by the foot. Its less expensive that way and you can cut it to the exact size you need.

Thanks TxDave,

That is just the stuff I would be looking for with a month or so. You just saved me the research time. And there are a lot of other interesting items on that website.

If you don't mind me asking... about how much did your trailer build set you back?

RVService guy,

I am not sure you are asking to me or TxDave.
If you are asking me, I sent you a PM on it. If not, ignore my message.
