When I was trailer shopping, I noticed that shorter trailers usually ended up with relatively stronger frames. That cheap I beam works fine for 20 or 25 feet, but gets weaker the longer you go.
I thought this may be the case. If they use the same cross section and same thickness it should be stronger. Is there anyway of finding this info out? Bert mentioned LCI, who else makes these frames? who makes the frames for the ORV trailers?
ORV Frames are made by Northwoods. ORV and Northwoods, while somewhat related are separate companies. They have a "separate set of books" or so to say. ORV contracts Northwoods to make the frames for their rigs to ORV specs. I'm not sure that ORV and Northwood are as related as Ford and Lincoln Mercury(yes I know there is no more Mercury). I think it's more like General Motors, Chevy and Buick, same parents, different kids.
