    Re: My Hook up

    Good job with the set up.
    Might I suggest right away using a sealer and waterproof paint, and on the floor something with a little grit or non-slip surface to it.

Places where you need something for a water barrier. There should be a couple of different styles. Some look like tiles, some just textured. They come in 4x8 ft. sheets. 2 will do the walls on the inside. * foot long and 4 foot up your wall. They also sell half sheets, so you can pick one of them up for the front.
    You could use "Liquid Nail" to glue them in place.

    I would also do something to the floor. You said you are going to waterproof it.
    I would, just me though, go out and buy some 12"x12" black and white tiles, the vinyl type, where you peel the back off and stick it, Kinda like a giant sticker. I would do a checkered floor. It would add to the protection of the floor. the tiles are also pretty cheap.

    If you did that, you would have a kick a$$ trailer inside, while making it look lighter inside so you can see better.


    But that is just me...LOL

    Looks good. Have you thought about some advertising on the side of that?

    Re: My Hook up

    I haven`t did it yet. Would a paint brush be sufficient?

    Getting it wrapped....wow. Isn`t that kind of pricey? I would just stick to getting the sides and back lettered with you number, web address, email, logo. slogan, etc. would probably be cheaper. I would say, don`t go too overboard starting out. Start small and work your way up. IMHO

    Not too pricey $140.00 for the full wrap. Not bad at all. The guy usually charges $400+ for a 5x8 but worked out a deal. 1 Express detail and 1 Deluxe Wax down the line

    Yes, a brush would work fine. or you can go to wal mart and get a roller and pan for less than $2. Would probably go faster.

    When you are doing the floor, make sure you do not breathe alot in...take a few breaks to get fresh air...
