To: Allworth,
Sorry to confuse you :)
To: Old-biscuit,
I was planning on using the local dump for the trailer weighing. Still need to call them and find out if they allow it.
To: N7bsn,
Thank you, I checked with the DMV and they stated to bring in the license plate and title and convert it to junk title. After that then register the trailer as a custom trailer which would allow it to have the permanent trailer license. :) I won't have to pay for the registrations every year :)
To: Harley Hitchiker,
I never thought about that; I will have to check them. :)
To: Slownsy,
The trailer looks factory other than previous owners removing interior items: lights, cabinets, and other small items.
To: JimnLin,
I will have to check for steel stamps I think I saw some but overlooked them. The rust will need to be removed.
As for the weight you stated did that include the enclosure?
I was planning on re-enforcing the floors because I know the floors are only rated for humans a max of 700 to 1000 lbs maybe.
To: recycler,
I was looking at the main frame they look to be 1/8" to a 1/4" thick. I know the floor will require some re-enforcement but haven't got to that point yet. The weight is my highest priority in deciding if it would be worth it to convert it.
The trailer reminds me of a '77 chevy truck 3/4 ton truck I had. The channels running from the front to the back look very durable. I have not looked at the arms extending from them yet but will soon.
Though after talking with you all about this I am realizing that converting the 5th wheel will not be feasible due to weight limits of the MH. Plus I would have to cut the frame down to at least 20'; about 35% would be cut off. To me that is just too much to cut off.
I want to say thank you all for your responses I really appreciate the help in figuring this all out. Thank you.
