[QUOTE="5BrothersFabrication, post: 683999, member: 2617"] We work on mostly big trailers, but we do some smaller trailers. You would be amazed at how cheaply these things are built. Look at the welds on the crossmembers on your Big Tex, Pace, Look, Featherlite, all your big name trailers. It looks like somebody welded it on with coat hangers and car batteries. The crossmembers and main frame rails are 1/8", the panels on an enclosed are paper thin, it's no wonder that you can buy a new trailer and in a couple years it's absolutely ragged out. But if they built one well, used thicker materials, it would cost and weigh twice as much. [/QUOTE]
