I have my floor and 2x2's to start on my Foamie Floor as per George Coe's Bug Out trailer video instructions. Have a 14 year old HF 1200 lb trailer that I am replacing the floor on. I plan to buy a new 1200 lb HF trailer to build the Foamie on. In measuring the 14 year old trailer, I have found that the expected measurements are off a tad:
My first cross member is at 24 inches (as expected):
The Second cross member will need 47 and 1/2 inches:
The Third cross member will need 72 and 3/8 inches:
And this shows the overall length of this trailer to be 96 and 5/16 inches:
So the question is...can I expect a new trailer to match these dimensions exactly? Or should I wait until I buy and build the new trailer to build the floor?
