Hi
New to the forum and have searched , but not finding the info i need.
While out looking at a old truck that i ended up buying .. i have gotten said trailer for a very fair price.
I just need to remove from the property.
This may be a blessing or the beginning of a curse
The owners father bought it , used it and then parked and sat.
At some point after lack of use , he decided it would make a better shed than a unused trailer.....
This is where it get's fun.
Sooo , he jacked up and placed the trailer on blocks and removed the axles...
1 of the reasons im posting.
And then gutted the unit of bath / kitchen and bed.
All interior panels are intact and good.
Stubs are there for plumbing.
There is a closet left only and all carpet was removed.
Plywood floor looks ok at initial inspection and unit appears dry.
The exterior / body is in good condition with no real dents or tears.
It will unfortunately need a corner glass..
The owner decided years ago it was best to scrap said axles .
So i have nothing there to look at , measure or take part numbers from...
And i need to put trailer on something to get it off the property ..
Im a mechanic by trade and not to scared of a resto..
This being a gutted unit to start is ok and ill build it out with new material and probably wont go for a period correct interior...
I need to know what the orig axles spec at for weight and or Part Numbers to start with .
Then i need to decide if i should up weight any on said axles if trailer may become heavier than orig...if that make sense
I have read a couple posts with the replacement of dexter axles and this is looking like what i'll buy
so
1. What are orig specs for axles .. weight / size for the 22 foot or link to specs / part numbers on the trailer
2. Need to know fact degree of axle i guess and if that changes with upgrades and poss increased weight ?
Sorry for long post and thanks for any info or links you can point me to.
