Trailer is starting to come together. In Canada, well Ontario it’s easy to register a trailer. You walk in and say I built a trailer and need to register it. They ask you weight and colour, pay like $40 for lifetime plates and you leave. Then you engrave the VIN somewhere on the frame where you can’t see without looking for it and you’re done.

Back in the day when we built our own boat trailers, we had to get it weighed first on a certified scale, then apply for a title

Ohio’s the same way except no title. Weight slip, pay the fee and it’s registered. Convenient but leads to a decent amount of trailer thefts.

The only thing I have ever been able to do in edit is delete the whole post. Now I know, so I copy the whole thing, delete it, and start fresh by pasting what I had and then fixing it.
What really sucked is the times before I knew that and had a half of a book post and it disappeared

Kinda what happened here. I made a comment, fact checked and then went to add the info and erased the original post. At that point the added info made no sense so I just said F it.

Had a couple spare minutes this weekend so I got the lid hinges burned on and the floor steel cut and tacked in. Nice to finally makes some more progress even if just a little.

A little more progress tonight. Front panel steel cut and welded on and lid steel cut and almost done welding. I desperately need to get a new drill index. It was a workout drilling all those holes.

Coming along very nice. I’m thinking of an axle-less set up for my trailer. If you don’t mind sharing, what was the cost for 1 ton including hubs?

All the skin is on except for the tailgate which I have yet to build. Started working on the fenders tonight. Got the basic frame built. Gonna add some steel to each side of the fender for a step.
Also broke in my new Evolution saw. This thing is pretty badass. I’ve always used abrasive wheels and this is so much better.
Once the fenders are complete, I’ll start on the tailgate and then wiring. That way I can get it registered. Coming along but pretty slow. Such is life I guess.

Got a little time to work on the trailer this weekend. Fenders and steps skinned and welded out. Installed lights and wiring. Installed latches for the lid. Built and skinned tailgate. Started to cap out the open tubing ends. Need to call this week and set an appt to get it registered. Wonder if the DMV is even taking appts. This week I’ll order the tailgate latches and stabilizing/leveling jacks.

Thats Cool!! Are you going to install a Roof Top Tent, Battery, Fridge, Propane etc... or just keep it simple for storage?

Thanks and yes, all the above eventually. Also a tank and water heater so the wife can have hot showers as well. It also those things will just kind of get done in due time. The main thing is the extra room so our family of 4 and 2 dogs can get out camping comfortably.

Thats looking great...
My local DMV is not open for VIN issuance, I made an appointment with the local CHP office. Once you have the VIN DMV should be able to do the rest.
I had to cancel my CHP appointment yesterday due to being quarantined, I should have had the final touches done on my trailer this weekend if not for possibly having the RONA.
