Quick(ish) question on frame related issue with outrigger length.
I'm working on redesigning a new frame for a 1969
Sovereign 31. It appears the width of my frame (end of end of outriggers) is 91". See attached photo.
HOWEVER, the width of my subfloor and width of my shell at the subfloor is 92 5/8". The measurements were so far off, I have now re-measured it three separate times to make sure I'm not making things up.
Therefore, the shell was basically overhanging the outriggers by 13/16" on both sides of the trailer. While designing the new frame, I would like to increase my outrigger length so that the width across outriggers is now 92 1/2" and better supports the shell.
Before I do this....is there something I am missing? This seems like a straightforward solution, but I'm struggling to find other good examples and figured maybe there's a reason the outriggers are cut short? My existing outriggers, for reference, are 14 3/4" long.
I spent the last 30 mins looking for this question/answer on the forums with no luck, so my apologies if it has been answered already.
Thanks!
