Nice looking tear :thumbsup: but I wonder why someone would put cheap trailer tail lights on such a nice looking product. Danny

Pictures look nice, but not impressed for that kind of dollars

I agree Danny... Polished aluminum and all....then cheap finishing touches. Kind of like they ran out of money!

They put the water fill spout right in the middle of the galley where any spills would flood your cabinets. what were they thinking?

Hey Folks,

Have not posted in a while - actually, I haven't done much but work lately, but I'm catching up.

I agree on the tail lights (we are wrestling with our lights). We want to do something really cool, but we have not had much luck finding something we like. The cut-in type on our full height units are too big. Got a line on some really nice billet stuff - maybe. We'll have something much better on the next few models. Maybe a repro old Ford type.

Have not had an issue with the water fill - we provide a little flex hose filler that goes on the end of a garden hose to make filling easy. Worth looking at in the future.

Any other constructive criticism? I'd love some feedback. Anyone seen our trailers in person?

Thanks!

Hey Eric, Being a hot rodder I'm a little more form over function when it comes to the overall look and style of a trailer. However as a manufacturer you need compliance and safety. There are two new retro taillights I'm considering for my next project. One is a repro 47/48 Plymouth and the other is a repro 39 Lincoln. Both are LED and very well made pieces. Take a look at www.cool-LEDS.com . They have some nice stuff.

Maybe '39 Chevy lights? First photo is glass lens and incandescent bulb - second one is plastic lens with led's.
