I think the wood will hold up fine. I like the plastic stuff, but it is kind of spendy, most travel trailers are little more than a plywood box on wheels. There will be multiple layers of waterproofing on all 6 sides.

I think it'll hold up just fine if protected good. To build your whole trailer out of it would be pricey that's why I didn't suggest that.

Iowa, is there a way you can see yourself moving up to a 700 or 1000? Sure would like to see you join us. If it was up to me I'd just say that we'd move along at 25 mph.

I will someday move up to a 700-4 ,but for now the 500 fit my needs with the rear seats l made.The problem is it has never given me a reason to trade in the 2500 miles I have on it,change the oil and clean the airfilter is all I have ever done.On the blacktop roads it runs best at 35.I just added it up 145 hours,2500 miles,thats17.24 mph average.

I think you could go say, 1/16...Maybe 1/8" wall on the 2x2 square for the receiver. The rest of the basket part I think you'd be good with 1/16" wall, 1.25x1.25 square. That really wouldn't be too heavy.

I hadn't thought of square. You thinking 3/4" or 1"

 

[Montecresto]

Ah, folks do it all the time. Don't forget, this former body man has a truck or two for waterproofing as well.

Lol. Didn't know about the former body man part.

Lol, my average is probably half that, and 30 is my favorite cruising speed. I understand, a man must do what he thinks is best!

Sounds good. How much did you get accomplished on it today?

 

[Montecresto]

Check this out mopar. I was digging around my shop and found this trailer tire my neighbor gave me last year. It's a 205-75R 14 same as the Osprey. Think the bolt pattern will be the same?

 

[Montecresto]

Oops, don't know how I got that tire in there twice, and now I can't get it out lol.

I'd go 1" if you use 1/8" wall, 1 1/4" if you use 1/16" wall. The thin wall 1 1/4 would be lighter

Not s***. It was like 2° today. The heater couldn't keep up and I slept like crap last night. Then we had a baby doctor appt today. I'll have more time Sat or sunday morning. I'm kinda waiting til next week til the weather gets back into the 20's by Monday or Tuesday.

Yep. I actually have a 4 year diploma in collision repair and painting. Only thing I never got into was frame rack work

Check the date code on the tire. If it's more than 6 years old replace the tire. Date code reads as ww/yy first 2 are week, last 2 year
