Having just towed a 12x 6 up and over the high sierra, I can't even imagine what a daily nightmare hustleing a cleaning business out of one must be..

Maybe in flatland surbubia I could get use to the hassle but good lord, in a mountainous area like Scruz you'd go broke.

Just bought another trailer today....

Sold my real nice all Aluminum custom enclosed little over a year ago...wouldn't you know the one I keep rusts out this year.....frame gone the other day when went to use it...

So just bought a simple but decent steel frame unit....3000 pound axle though....drop down door in the rear....

Still doing some water restoration, and other hauling, so still needed small trailer and of course, needed it this week! :dejection:

But no way would I clean carpets out of a trailer!

It was a piece of cake in Phoenix. Flat, wide roads! I'd never dream of doing it here. Heck, I didn't even carry water in Phoenix.

I am in some of the flatest country in the land and I still would never consider it.

It would be nice to have a sweet truck that could be unhooked and used on off time though.

I was looking at a steel enclosed trailer and as soon as my wife saw the trailers rusting on the lot, she decided to spend the extra grand for an all aluminum one.

Is that how the walls came? How thick are they? Looks nice!

The wall came with this water proofed wood as they call it....

The metal tubing and the walls are about 1 inch of tube metal (guessing) and then I think about 5/8 inch wood on that....

Just guessing on all of that though, and son in law has the trailer so can't go measure....but will do that

The E Track I of course put up
