Message: [QUOTE="Tony Eeds, post: 715744, member: 32023"] Questions for all you trailer owners out there ... For reference, I have a 7x14 internal wheel well Pace two axle trailer with a ramp door. I am building a cabinet across the front of the trailer and an overhead cabinet along the drivers side of the trailer above the bikes. Folding bunks will be on the passenger side of the trailer between the door and the ramp door. 1. I am going to wire the trailer for AC. It appears that 30A and/or 50A 220V are the available configurations. Anybody remember off hand how to add up the load of the appliances in order to determine the total load of the appliances I expect to carry. I have forgotten my high school physics stuff. 2. That leads me to a generator to serve the load when not hooked to a pedestal. I figure if you answer the first question, I can figure out the second. 3. What angle and spacing is the best to use when angling the bikes crossways in the trailer. 4. Are those thingies that clamp the front wheel worth the money? 5. Has anyone ever used a ramp/channel to raise the front wheel up to the point that it will touch the wall above the internal wheelwell on these trailers? I envision a channel frame that touches the floor and folds up out of the way when not in use. This system negates the answer to question 4. 6. How in the world are the trailer brakes wired? Anybody have a schematic? 7. What is the minimum thickness of aluminum diamond plate I should use on the floor? 8. Has anyone ever painted the aluminum skin on their trailer? Mine is black (which is fine), but the finish has began to chalk and is tired looking. Nevermind that I scratched it all up removing the twelve zillion stickers on the sides. 9. When wiring DC in the trailer, where does everybody place the battery? I bet more questions will pop up but these will do for now. Thanks in advance for all the discussion and input. Please know that it is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
