Sealing cargo doors? Need ideas FAST!
I need some advice. We are converting a popup into a 8 place canoe trailer with cargo storage in the box section and need some ideas of how to seal the top hinged plywood doors?
We build a frame of 4x4 and 2x4 inside the box, making 4 large storage areas. They are all framed at the opening with the face of 2x4's. We have roughly 5/8-3/4 plywood (some odd x/32 the box stores sell now).
We plan to add 4 separate top hinged doors, but not sure how to seal the door when closed?
I don't know that stick-on weatherstripping will last.
Waterproof would be nice, but rain-resistant is the main goal.
Tools? Router, circular saw, jig saw, saws all, drills, mig welder (not aluminum), all kinds of cutting tools, etc.
Budget is tight. We'd rather have a "pretty good" inexpensive solution than an expensive "perfect" solution, but I'm interested in all options :)
The box is roughly 10' x 6.5' and we've added a 4" homemade lift kit and extended the tongue about 4' She tows extremely well with no sway or skipping, even around tight corners at 70+ mph (tested on back roads)
