Slide on Tear

Postby greg55 » Sat Mar 25, 2006 6:07 pm

I read about someone building a slide on tear.I have a snowbear 7000 utility trailer that I could use as a slide in.Since the whole thing will be sliding on and off the utility trailer what would be a good way to build the floor so it will be light and strong enough to keep the whole unit from twisting when moving on and off.I was thinking 1/2" MDO ply for the walls and 1/8" inside and out for the top.I'am trying to be as light as possible as the trailer weighs 348 lbs empty and will be pulling with a 4 cyl auto.

If you're snowbear trailer is like mine, it has removable gates. You might use stakes built into the teardrop and reuse the gate holders. If you used a wedge system you could really tie the slide-off down.
