Finishing Some Trailer Maintenance
August 8, 2020
After demo, I had to decide what maintenance I wanted to do with the trailer. I have researched a lot of these builds and saw that some people jump right to building from here. Since this will be used by my family and I hope to sell it one day, I wanted to do my due diligence to make sure it was safe. Also, I’d be really upset if I build my camper on this frame and had to tear out a section to make a repair down the road.
Trailer Frame Prep:
Power wash all the dirt, dust, cobwebs, etc
Remove as much surface rust as I can with a grinder and wire brush attachment
Sand rust in hard to reach places by hand
Grind and hammer out leftover screws and bolts
Power wash sanding residue
Remove step
Clean trailer surface with CLR
Final clean with Acetone
Prime - Rustoleum Professional Primer (2 cans)
Paint - Rustoleum High Performance Enamel Paint (4 cans)
The paint won’t be visible. Once the floor is attached I will protect the bottom of the trailer and floor with a wood sealant and either a rubberized underbody spray or roofing asphalt/tar. But my goal was to do whatever I could to prevent rust to the frame.
Tracking System Prep (completed by a mechanic):
Remove and inspect tires (one is in bad shape so I ordered a new pair from etrailer.com)
Remove, inspect, and repack wheel bearings (both were in great shape)
Inspect axle (no concerns)
Inspect wheel bolts (no concerns)
Thank goodness the trailer was stored in a garage all this time.
New Orders
2 new tires
New swivel jack stand
New spare tire ring (haven’t found a spare tire I like yet)
The extra cleaning and safety measures added 2 weeks to my build but it feels so good to have a safe foundation to complete my build on.
Next Week: Subfloor
I am very excited to start the subfloor. Right now my plan is to layer: subfloor plywood, insulation, and flooring plywood. I haven’t decided which final materials I am going to use because I want to see everything in person. I plan to go to 2 building material merchants this week and get a better idea of my options. I have a few more tools to collect as well but Saturday morning I should be framing out the floor.
