Found out I have bulging disks in my lower back (I’m 22… so not good). I decided that pulling around and loading/unloading the washer daily isn’t helping me what’s so ever fix my back pain.
Decided to hold off on the utility truck since I’m not quiet there and start off with a trailer build. Ill save for the truck with what I make with the trailer next year. I’ll be building it over the winter inside my garage. I picked up a brand new 12 ft tandem for a super deal. Only negative is that it has a dovetail but I can work around that or have a welder fix that straight for me. Since I’ll be adding a ladder rack I’ll make some welder friends or learn how to weld myself.
So, I’m a planner, I don’t like wasting money either. Since I’m quiet tech handy, I decided to make a 3D model of my trailer and add a ladder rack, reels, tanks, machine, etc. All to scale with the manufacture dimensions I found online. It will help me with weight distribution and making sure everything fits lol. So, here is a mockup. It’s rough but I didn’t feel like adding too many tiny details, not like I’m printing it! Lol.
Orange boxes are 18in electric Hannah’s
Grey box is 8.5 hydro max hot unit.
Blue is 200 gal water tank
Yellow is 100 gal SH tank
Pink is 7 gal soap tank
Black box in back for storage
Red Tubes are for guns w/lance and brooms/poles
Green thing on side is 12v pump and proportioner
Weld wise, I added a 4ft high ladder rack that clears my garage door, cut the tailgate down to 12 inches, cut out the 45 degree angle that goes from the nose to the front railing so it can make room for a tractor supply box to house the battery for the 12v and trickle charger and misc. Also a place to hang the 19 WW surface cleaner
If you have any opinions or just questions in general please comment!
Room under reels for hose runs
