First, I have enjoyed nosing about on this forum for a while. I have come across tons of inspiring ideas and motivating stories/pictures, and I want to thank you all for that.
So, I have done a tiny bit of searching and didn't find much on the subject yet, and here it is...
We are looking to build something akin to a canned ham this year and I have a design issue. It revolves around desired functionality and my unyielding HOA and garage door height. We want to build and store the trailer in the garage (according to the HOA, driveway is a no-no...you can't even work on your car in the drive way). The door? It is only 6'8" and I am 6'2". We don't have a lot of leeway here.
Since I will be building everything from frame up, I have some ideas that could help. Has anyone ever used an air bag suspension setup in order to lower the trailer while not in use? I'm thinking 2" off the ground, and then raise it for tow once out of the garage. Anyone try this yet? I am already okay with the idea of slouching about in the trailer, but every little bit helps.
Also, if I do a drop floor, what is the minimum recommended clearance between it and the road surface? Rather than using air bags to lower the trailer to store, I could use them to raise the trailer for less-than-agreeable road surfaces.
Thoughts? Ideas? We would love them!
