    Dude! A lot to cover here, so I hope you take the time to read it. I've talked to you a few times before. I'm the retired pro ATV guy that rode for Klemm Research way back in 88'-90'. First thing, for stickers, decals, tape, etc., a heat gun (don't get it too hot) and plastic scraper. Then WD-40 on a rag will break down and remove the residue. Okay, now for the interior. The dark interior looks cool and all, but trust me, when you want to work on an ATV, you're gonna be kicking yourself in the ass all the way home to redo the whole thing if you don't lighten it up quite a bit. That's why they usually install that white, very reflective, paneling on the walls. It bounces the light around. I would also consider installing pop-in ceiling LED's. Your ceiling should have about 1" clearance between the interior panel and the roof panel. That's more than enough clearance for those lights. You can also pop in a couple in the bottom of your cabinets over the workbench. In my race trailer, I had the lights divided into sections of the trailer, with a separate switch for each section. Get a big 12v deep cycle battery (or 2 - 6v golf cart batteries) and a good inverter for the trailer. Run a charge line from your truck to the trailer so you can recharge your trailer battery while you drive. The rubber flooring might seem like a great thing until you have to roll your toolbox across it. That is, unless you get a toolbox with the big wheels on it. Don't forget. You'll need a way to anchor the toolbox in the trailer. A fold-up bed over the wheel wells works pretty good for overnight camping. Towards the back of the trailer and up high, I had a tire rack for all the different wheels I needed. IE: Paddles, different grooved knobbies, Hoosiers, etc. On the workbench, I had a mounted vice and a bench grinder with a wire wheel and a buffing wheel attached. WHEW! This is getting lengthy.
    Okay, now this is important. On the outside of the trailer, you'll want some good lighting off the side and out the back. Nice, bright, LED lightbars work great for this. I can't even count how many times I've had to wrench on my quads, buggies, or dirtbikes at night at a race track, stadium, or desert and was glad I invested in lighting for my trailer. Also, an awning is nice, but if you have a couple EZ-ups (or canopies), you'll be fine. A 20' - 30' roll of Astro-Turf makes for a nice touch too. For your axles, get Bearing Buddies (or equivalent) and you'll never worry about bearings overheating or running dry on grease ever again. That's about it....for now. Ha Ha Ha I hope that helps.

    I’m not sure if anyone mentioned this but make sure you re-seal the roof. I had an older trailer leak on me. I recommend talking to a trailer or rv store. They will likely recommend a self levelling sealant. Or you could use polyurethane. Avoid using silicone sealant anywhere on tye trailer. Much better to use polyurethane!
    Not sure if you need a heater but if so try to find one or two that you can mount on the same way the lights are mounted. I got radiant heater and mounted them like that. Out of the way and they made those cold days much nicer to work on stuff or warm up after a cold ride. Make sure to size your generator correctly if you are planning on using one.
    Also, avoid using dark vinyl inside the trailer. Lighter colours will make it much brighter inside.
    You can seal cheap led lights with polyurethane as well, just gob in over that back to make them seal better.
    Also I’ve used those 12v interior leds in my camper and they are so worth it in my opinion. I like the 5500k bright white ones. Highly recommend trying them. Out of 20 lights I’ve had one fail in 2 seasons.
    I’m sure you will drill holes at each end of that crack in the swing arm but just a reminder to prevent that crack from spreading in the future.
    Also, I second the good bench vise comment.
    Thanks for all your great content. Cheers from Canada.

  • @jdm4569
    @jdm4569 2 роки тому +11

    I wouldn’t flat black the walls since you plan on working out of it because it’ll make it dark in there, try to stay with white or some other lighter color. Leds are a great idea I want to convert my toy hauler over to those for less draw on the batteries at night and I could probably get away with a less expensive solar panel to keep them topped off. Nice trailer btw Mike your going to love owning one.👍🏼

    I used garage floor epoxy with the flakes on my plywood trailer floor. A lot of guys do the ribbed rubber flooring as well. You can get dirt bike wheel chocks that recess into the floor. The side door, I would add one of the locking bars like your rear doors have.

    • @shoes121255

      If you add the locking bar to the side door, add some windows with egress ability. That way nobody can lock you in your own trailer. Especially if you ever plan on sleeping in your trailer. Black wrap on the walls might make it really dark inside.

    Your wall panels are likely FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic). You can get replacement panels that are textured for about $30 for a 4x8 sheet. They sell it in grey as well. It likely cracked because there is no insulation behind it for support. Adding insulation board may be worth it. 1/16" HDPE sheets are far more durable and $50-60 per sheet. We used Luan in our trailer. The options are endless.

    Thanks for the little photoshop demo. Cutting things out is the worst so this was a great way to show how you mod things without having to spend a ton of time cutting. The trailer is going to look good. With the darker colors on the walls and floor, I'd probably lean at putting 1 strip of white lights all the way around the top vice just the red or blue accent lights. Also, since you have a tandem axle grab 2 spares. If you get a flat on one side from running something over, there's a good chance you'll end up with punctures on both tires.

    The walls cracking on the inside is common, I’ve used these trailers a whole lot for my lawn care business. The cool thing is having the heat/ac because you can sleep in the trailer when you go places. Invest in a good cot or a good air mattress for night time. We diamond plated the entire inside of our trailer so we can pressure wash it out. Keep good 10 ply or better tires on it, anything less can blow out under a lot of weight. Other than that, just make sure you keep the wheel bearings greased and the wheel hubs will not overheat. If it has trailer brakes then make sure those brakes stay serviced as well. Awesome purchase man, this thing will do you a LOT of good on your trips. You can set up a good 10x20 canopy tent outside of the trailer and you can park quads under that on location and you could sell some merch as well. They also make a bench that folds up to the side, and if you get one on each side and the matching table then the benches fold down and makes a bed across the trailer so you can put an air mattress on there. On the outside I would do a wrap with pictures of your T-Shirt logos all over and in big letters put “The Basket Case Toy Hauler” with “Mike Sabo” under other. Then down the back and across the bottom on the sides put ALL your social media links. The trailer is a rolling billboard man, use it to advertise what you do.

      Oh, some states require running lights across the top in the front, sides, and back. I would recommend getting some in yellow incase you travel through a state that requires them. If you have a Rural king or Tractor Supply they might have some of the things you’re looking at fairly cheap and you can see it in person before you buy them. They also have a lot of trailer parts and equipment as well.

    Use a steamer such as a handheld clothing steamer to remove the vinyl. It rejuvenates the material and you will be able to practically pull it off by hand after lifting some of the corners with a plastic scraper. It will be the quickest and the least damaging option. If that does not work they sell a product called rapid remover. Spray it let it sit for a few minutes and it will eat away at the adhesive on the vinyl. It will definitely take it off you'll just have more to clean up.

    As someone who has had many trailers for my business over the last 20 years I would encourage you to never use dark walls. (Don't ask me how I know. LoL) White is truly the best. I love the way black looks but you'll regret it. It is terrible to work in those even when it's daylight. If you need to be working at 6 in the evening and it's already dark outside you'll be kicking yourself that you made it dark. The light colors, white the most, will make it so much brighter inside the trailer. Even when the lights are off. A dark floor isn't a huge deal but the walls and the ceiling you will want white. I love your channel keep it up.

    Trailers even used have gotten expensive. Last summer, my 16x7 Stealth trailer got totalled during a storm. from a downed 70' Black locust tree. It could have been worse for since my truck that parked next to my trailer was shielded from any damage because my trailer saved my truck. I found out replacing my trailer was harder than I planned since at the time and money available, most new trailers that I was looking for was either sold out or twice the price range. I found a used Wells Cargo 16x8.5 trailer for the price range I could afford and I was thinking this is going to be a great replacement. What I have discovered is areodynamics of enclosed trailers play a huge role on fuel mpg. The difference between my old trailer and my replacement is about 4 to 5 mpg. The difference of empty weight is 145lbs heavier for my replacement trailer but my old trailer still had much influence on my truck mpg when it was hauling 6000 lbs load compared to my new trailer being empty. Now I am researching better enhacements that can be done to help out of increase fuel effieciecy.

    • @MichaelSabo
      @MichaelSabo  2 роки тому

      Man that's a bad situation; I'm glad your truck was saved though. I noticed the MPG is worse with this trailer than the car trailer I've towed - even fully loaded it would get about 2 mpg better. I'd be interested if there are ways to improve aerodynamics as well.

    • @j.need4qlife483
      @j.need4qlife483 2 роки тому +1

      @@MichaelSabo I have been comuplating if adding a camper shell to my truck would reduce the aerodynamic impact load on the front of my trailer. My old trailer was 24 degree slanted v nose trailer. This new one has a "bull nose" is almost flat still has some angle. Not that impress with that design. From some of the research that I have done, there a couple products that I am considering to look into. The first one is "teardrops" which helps reduce areodynamic drag behind the trailer and the second this is a product called "Nose Cone". I am sure if I can even use a nose cone with my trailer, but it looks like it would work with your trailer. The way I look at it, I do not see gas prices ever coming down below 3 dollars and my hobby is something I will not give up, since it is mine version of dealing with boredom and stress. If I need to spend more money to save money in the long run, thats an investment I am willing accept the risk.
      Also, another great benefit having a large trailer is cost sharing when you can split the cost with a few friends on a group ride.

    First and foremost, never skimp on tires, brakes, or axle maintenance. Grease your hub bearings regularly, especially when planning for longer trips. Depending on your axles, you might have a system that actually repacks the bearings when you pump grease into them. They're called EZ lube axles. These are better than bearing buddies because EZ Lube actually pushes the old grease out from the back side by pushing new grease in. Check it out on UA-cam If you want to video on how it works, they're great! Your next trailer should be a toy hauler camper like a Play More. That way you can stay in it and sleep in it with your quads inside lol.

    Your brakes are probably good, just need adjusted. Make sure you have your brake controller in your pickup adjusted high enough and test for power at your wheels under braking. If so, you can usually manually activate the brakes when backing the trailer up, this adjusts the brakes out. Or you can adjust them by hand through the access hole in the backing plate.
