Seems like a good plan, and looks real nice, but have you considered the weight affects of all that tile?
Well look at it this way; there is probably 20-30 lbs of tile. As a percentage of the overall weight and or capacity of the trailer this is insignificant. My trailer has a GVWR of 10200 lbs and a Net Carrying Capacity (NCC) of 4066 lbs. Thirty lbs is .0029411765 percent of the total GVWR or .00737 percent of the NCC. Not significant.
The key to a safe trailer is balance. This addition will not put me over either my weight limit or capacity limit. Or anywhere near either for that matter.
I would think that only in rare cases where a trailer is truly overloaded would the addition of a bit of tile push you into a dangerous overload situation.
In any case the sink and vanity weighed much more than the tile.
But I am confident it will be OK.
Thanks for the nice compliment too.
