Marlin,

Some trailer manufacturers do not cut tubing to fit - they &quot; fill in &quot; with the weld.
Some welds do not completely bridge the gap.

As I stated - the roads in this country are in shit shape.

Aluminum framed trailers - those with the base frame as well as sidewalls &amp; roof framed from aluminum
tend to flex more readily because of the characteristics of the material.

You can't adequately inspect an enclosed trailer beyond crawling underneath to see if
wear &amp; tear are stressing &amp; cracking welds.

My trailer I am running now is full perimeter 8 inch steel tubing that is 3/16&quot; thick.
The center tonge tube is also * inch and runs clear back to the first axle.

Empty - my 34 foot custom car hauler weighs 6000 pounds.
