    All metal trailers without OSB/plywood walls?

    To all people who showed disability disrespect on here: guess what, getting all metal trailer built for me. No OSB, no plywood, no vinyl, no rubber, no fake paneling made of whatever chemicals, no fake wood, no other toxic, poisonous, horrendous and disgusting smelling junk I would not keep a...

    a safe place to take along when I have to go

    You don't need to explain your disability to them. It's like explaining your race, ethnic origin, gender or lgbt orientation to the normies and bigoted ones. Most of them don't even consider us to be humans (funny I never even collected a dime of disability, not a dime of their tax money...

    Cargo Trailer Conversion - I hope

    So perhaps not to discuss other people's disabilities and if one is telling they can't use a product not to shove it on them? Do you people like to discuss others' race, gender, orientation? I sense bigotry and judgement on this forum, combined with gross misinformation, won't be back. And...

    Cargo Trailer Conversion - I hope

    Actually, no, it's your assumptions about me that are unfounded so please hold them to yourself, no need to insult my intelligence and my disability. Got to "love" those people who disregard and diminish our health conditions all the time, I can ssure you I'm very familiar with that throughout...

    a safe place to take along when I have to go

    Long time ago I worked helping someone in over 65 apartments of the kind where people were usually disabled. One day they replaced part of the floor to make it easier for the wheelchair in the apartment to move. The smell of toxic chemicals was extremely bad, it' like they wanted to kill...

    a safe place to take along when I have to go

    By the way Tu-Tuff underlayment can be used on houses just fine, on top of floors/walls,, blocks chemicals and smell right there, but best to use mutliple lawyers of the stuff. And tape the seams edges for long term installation to prevent water getting under. I can put my nose right to Tu-Tuff...

    Keeping the cargo trailer warm safely?

    My setup will be: diesel fumes vented outside/exhaust <--- portable/outdoor diesel heater sitting outside ---> outlet pipe/hot air vented to the inside of the living quarters using ducting and some sort of metal port with a lid to cover it when not in use Now since diesel fumes go outside, if I...

    Trailer towing gone sadly wrong

    Oh no, just no, for million of reasons, look forward to start selling my class C. It's convenient but thee downsides are plenty. And class C isnt' recommended to go over 55mph anyway, one can drive 60, sometimes 65 but anything over 60 is really foolish.

    Trailer towing gone sadly wrong

    I've seen the interstate in South Dakota covered in overturned trailers on the side after a snow storm. People drive like crazy, including huge RVs, these are terrifying when they pass you because unlike truck drivers these are not even trained and for many it's first time experience...

    All metal trailers without OSB/plywood walls?

    After much calling around found 2 companies that can do all-metal or almost in small trailers (just OSB floor which is easy to remove), Legend and ProLine. Was not impressed with most other companies I called to see if they can do custom all-metal, they don't even have customer service, just...

    Cargo trailer + truck advice

    I did some research and looks like I'm being left with the only option of 6x12 horse trailer, unless I go with a van + tiny cargo, for certain reason, posted a separate thread on all-metal trailers.

    All metal trailers without OSB/plywood walls?

    I've been browsing and calling around and finding small all-metal trailer is surprisingly hard. Does anyone know a company that sells them? It's a crucial health matter for me. I found all-steel trailers by Cell Tech but they are at least 7'x14', bigger than what I need. Found Alumline company...

    Keeping the cargo trailer warm safely?

    It's a good consideration about outside pollutants being brought inside, because even though I camp far away from other people, there been a couple of times when someone had a campfire and the wind brought that smoke to me, don't want that inside. One can run intake duct to the heater too, from...

    Cargo trailer + truck advice

    I don't need any special super high clearance because I likely won't be getting any extra high lifted truck or anything, just regular F-150 most likely. Aren't basic trailers already have clearance matching or higher than F-150? I don't need more for this trip. When I look it up it says trailers...

    Keeping the cargo trailer warm safely?

    Where I camp there's no one else for miles, so getting dirty air from others is not an issue. I do not want anything diesel installed inside or any other extensive installation for my no-build setup and it will be for a trailer with no fuel tank, the vehicle itself will be gas very likely, I do...

    Half ton Ranger V6, pulling a 5X8 cargo trailer.

    Too much for me, personally, but I see how it makes sense for someone who would be doing a real build on their new cargo trailer and plans to keep it for a long time (puls after driving my class C all over the country and towing with it everything else seems lovely). One thing though Uhaul...

    Half ton Ranger V6, pulling a 5X8 cargo trailer.

    I physically won't be able to deal with 55 gallon water drums LOL, personally, and how do you get the water out, then, just tip and dump them outside somewhere on the roadside?

    Keeping the cargo trailer warm safely?

    Yes I know about contained outside units that you carry, diesel canister is built in, more keywords are "all-in-one" and "parking heater". But I am not sure they have built in rain protection, the one that truly works in all kinds of rain. I've seen a youtube review of one claiming one needs to...

    Keeping the cargo trailer warm safely?

    Do these chinese diesel heaters get hot on the outside? I'm thinking how to protect one from rain. Had seen one marketed as self-contained unit inside a carrying plastic box it runs from. Not sure how this does not melt, looks like a regular tool box. Generator tents don't seem like a good idea...

    Keeping the cargo trailer warm safely?

    By 2K unit do you mean the price or 2000w? I know there're pricey that cost thousands, pretty sure they work great. I heard cheap Amazon chinese diesel units break down a lot or emit fumes that do inside I'm not big on facebook stuff, they won't even show me the group without me creating an...
