Hey BTBRV could u tour a cedar creek 355lf they don’t make them anymore but it’s a 3 bed 1 and 1/2 bath fifth wheel and there are no good videos on it! Thanks!
That certainly makes lifting that gate easier. The building is beautiful also. All your hard work and great videos over the years have payed off. I've been following you since your first drill review, your trucks, trailers. Always great advice. You definitely deserve credit. Kenny
JD, I would have moved bracket froward to the front of trailer so it was on the rail flat. Like 3” or what ever that extra raised thick piece is. That few inches wouldn’t have hurt anything and would look much cleaner. Just my thought looks like a great product and the older a guy gets the tougher things get….
That's a really good addition to the heavy gate on that trailer. One other potential solution to your bolt problem could have been rivet nuts. They make them to work with material up to half inch thick. They're pretty solid fasteners perfect for blind holes like your fully-boxed rail trailer. My F150 has a couple Rivet nuts in it to repair threads in my tailgate access panel. I have a few in the interior to secure cameras to the headliner.
As a hind sight kind of situation, i would've mounted the rails a few inches farther forward. That was they aren't sitting ontop of those cap plates creating a gap underneath the end. And then the self drilling screws would've only had to go through the box tubing. Probably not an issue the way you did it more so just a preference.
I thought it was a great product also give it 2-3 months and watch when it don’t go back up and if you open it there’s a good chance you take a finger off..GOOD LUCK
