WoooHooo! Did you use your charm and good looks :G-Dub: to get an earlier delivery date?

How much taller is the trailer than the truck? The shots of those trailers look huge!
Very cool Greg,it's getting closer! :thumbsup:

Dan -- Trailer is 13' 4" tall which IS really what makes these look big. I know guys that have 48' single tall trailers... and they just don't look like these do. These are same height as normal "dry" freight trailers... but they look large because they're built on a drop frame - making more sidewall because they're built lower UNDER the frame.


No on the earlier date! I did do a fair amount of begging.... but it's not going to happen. These guys are B U S Y! NASCAR teams have been ordering the big toters rather than the Prevost buses... and there's some super secret government trailers being built... as in like a dozen of them.

Cool stuff !!

Okay - this will be hard to do.....


There are only 4 or 5 interior fabric combos to choose from -- so you're pretty limited to their fabric combos. I started with that "base" choice and worked to find floor - counter - backsplash - grout - sofa (Ultra Leather) and carpet.



So the darkest granite sample is the counter top - it's slab.... it will also be used in 4" squares in the backsplash WITH a 2" "drop"(on point) of the floor granite (the lighter brown).

The floor is on the diagonal (the lighter brown) - 12" squares -- with a drop of matte finished beige.... and in the picture you can see the grout sample.

The fabric is ONE of the fabrics that are used for throw pillows etc. and the stained Cherry is the wood - all cabinets and trim etc.

This is the Floor granite -- and the carpet that is barely any but goes on the floor in the slide out under the sofa -- and is also the whole bedroom.

So this is the counter sample (the darker) with the floor sample - that will be on the floor (main color) and also the 2" drop on point in the backsplash,

This is the floor -- the darker -- against the grout choice -- and the beige drop "in matte" to contrast with the polished floor....

A little more of the fabric -- which has a blood red in it......

The BLACK trailer is the height -- the tractor in the middle bay is my truck... the windows are at the same height - what makes my truck look smaller (other than it is) is that I don't have the height in the roof like most of the other trucks do.

When I bought my enclosed trailer I also wrestled with the flooring choice. It was used so I had to go with what the previous owner had bought. :action-smiley-027:
