I just picked up this project trailer. 5th wheel camper frame. Triple axle, 32' deckover with 2"x6" rectangular tube over frame at 24" on center. Tires ok. Just ordered some Ash 2x6's for deck. They will be 1 1/2" thick from mill.
Should be ok for my 7500 lb skidloader and extra logs. 3 - 4k axles. Weighs just over 3000 lbs now. Needs lights and brakes hooked up. For $850, I am happy!
Question, do I need to put 2 screws on every board, on every 2' runner ? Or is 1 ok ? I decided to go with wood on this vs treadplate steel like i have on my scrap trailer for $$$$ wise. Looking at self tapping 2" torx countersunk screws to secure.
Not sure what to do with the 6' platform on 5th wheel yet. Toolbox n spare tire most likely. I told my wife a pickup camper would fit nicely. She laughed....
