Nice rig. Don’t worry about what Ron does and doesn’t do. I built a trailer to match his first iteration “art” and after 3 years I completely remodeled it to work better for me. Everyone has a system. This to me sounds like exactly what you need if you move around a lot. I like Ron a lot but we all have to do what works well for us! Nice work!
Anyone ordering a trailer needs to know that they will charge you exactly what you can buy aluminum wheels and radial tires for on the internet and have them sent to your house. Some are saying so what? The wheels and tires that were stock on the trailer, they keep those. Gain four spare wheels and tires and buy your own wheels and tires for the same money. It doesn't matter if you buy a trailer already made or custom order it, if you are going to upgrade, buy your own wheels, tires, stabilizer jacks, e track, extra lighting and all extra wiring, you will save money. Great trailer! Keep a close eye on it, thieves work hard to steal trailers and I have heard of crooks stealing a trailer buy using the safety chains to pull it. Criminals will go to great lengths to steal a working man's hard earned belongings, be careful and good luck!
Hey thanks for sharing the trailer …. But i dont think most care about where things go or what time tools you have …. But how you came up with the build … how you decided where to put things … how your flow was set up to as to what kind of work you do …
I really appreciated your video. I'm working out how I want to do my trailer. I really like Ron's layout, but there are a few things I want to change. Your video gave me some great ideas.
A few years in. How are the craftsman boxes standing up to use in the trailer? I saw someone else's video said they didn't take the stress well on the roads
They held up really well so they made it 6 years driving around and I have a 2-mile long dirt driveway to my house. Unfortunately not related to the tool trailer my shop caught on fire and burnt the tool trailer up including all my tools over inside in the process of inventorying and going through it now hoping to post a video about it when I'm all wrapped up
Nice trailer! Nice to see other contractors investing in themselves. Glad Im not the only one. I built my trailer out Paulk style as well but my next trailer will have more tool boxes like hours and be 20ft or 22ft like yours as well.
It really didn't make a difference to me V-nose or flat what I did care about was the roof I didn't want a flat roof we get a lot of snow and I wanted it to all melt off so I wanted an arched roof for snow and for some additional Headroom and so you can't get an arched roof with a V-nose. From my dealer anyway. Thanks for the question.
As far as freezing temps, either get a cooler or a fridge and toss a heating pad in there, I got that setup in my truck in the freezing temps of northern us, works great
Nicely Done! Love Ron's stuff he has inspired me along the way as well. I've been looking for an alternative for recovery tank & refrigerant storage, your approach of storing the tanks on shelf may very well be the answer I was looking for. Thanks for sharing its appreciated.
Wow!! That is truly a amazing clean and well organised workspace and tooltrailer. Plenty of room in the middle is great too!! Thumbs up for you! Just love it!!
Nice use of the Craftsman tool box drawers. They work perfectly, I like the kaizen foam cut out organization. You can always tell when something is missing. The most expensive tool is the one you buy twice. Great job!
Great build. Well organized. You kept referencing how things are different from Ron's design. It should be, your use is similar but diffetent than what Ron designed. Anyway, well done!
I had a sheet metal shop cut and break 18 gauge sheet metal with a 4-inch backsplash and 2.5 inches on the front with a hem. Then I stacked two pieces of 3/4 plywood, screwed and glued together, and then silicone the sheet metal to the top of that
Very nice--thanks for doing the video. I just bought a 6x12 and looking for ideas to build it out. I'm not in the trades, so I'm hoping I can get by with this size and still end up with something useful.
9400 lb trailer weight with tools in it and only registered under 10,000 gvw does not leave much room to play with. In Pennsylvania, over a 10,001 lb and up gvw trailer weight requires combination registration. Not having a trailer registered as a combination and being over the registered weight leads to a $6,000 fine. (At least that is what the PA state trooper told me at a seminar) Awesome trailer!
I know each state is different. In Washington, the law reads, "trailers with a GVWR under 10001 pounds shall be exempt," so they can't even ask to weigh you. However, every officer interprets the rules a little differently, so it's still a bit of a crapshoot. This is one of the reasons I don't put my business name on the side of the trailer, and I register it and my truck in my name, not the business name. Good luck with the Smokeys in PA!
I'm in Spokane, my local DOT guy said my truck is counted as 10k (2500 cummins) and with any combo over 16k a DOT number is required. I have a 7k job trailer, 14k dump, and 14k flatbed. Staying under 26k to avoid the CDL requirement. About registering personal instead of business, he said it comes down to insurance. If you have a commercial insurance policy and over 16k combined you need a DOT and have to stop at scales when open. He said not having a DOT number when required starts at about 5k then they'll start looking for other violations to run the fine up. All a game of BS to make it harder to make a living... Digging your setup and wishing my 16' 7k was a 20' 10k. I'm outta room!
Beautiful job, I have a small shed that I use as a woodworking shop, so your trailer gave me a starting point to start the organization in a small place (12x16). Perfect! Thanks for taking the time to do the video.
That is a great mounting solution you came up with for your sheet metal brake. I can certainly see why your trailer weight came out to 9000+ pounds with all of the metal tool drawers. I suspect your fell HVAC buddies are jealous of your work trailer.
@@houtslager if you've never made a grilled cheese sandwich or heated a freezer burrito with a piece of sheet metal and a map gas torch, you can't call yourself at tin bender
@@Nick-vs9tq your right , but in the army I've cooked on some really wierd gear but now I'm a sawdust maker 😄 so don't need tin snips but I'd love to give it a try
It's a Dometic penguin 2 if I were to do it again I'd probably install one of those ductless mini splits because the heat pump kicks out whenever the outdoor temp is below 32 so it works fine in Mild cold temperatures but anytime it drops below freezing I have to put a supplementary heater in it you know like a little resistive fan type.
The part number from sears is #00958630000; unfortunately, it's no longer available because of sears going out of business, and the craftsman they have at lowes is the cheap stuff.
You want to also get your chains inside that proven industry lock, I have same lock and my friend just had his trailer stolen and they just hooked chains up and dragged it.
Wow, that’s an amazing build. Like you, I worked from a 7x14 for several years. It was well organized, but nowhere near the level of yours! Love the size, the height, and the organization you did.
Wow, another Ron Paulk geek. So you had a trailer for 11 years and couldn’t figure out how to organize it. I don’t think Ron Paulk could build a doghouse.

“This is my “I still don’t know what I’m doing with” section”
Yeah, my section is 7x14. That’s why I’m here!
Nice build really nice! Thanks for sharing.

Hi, whats is the weight of the trailer with the tools ? ( approx )
9800lb ish
Hey Nick do you like the flat nose vs the v nose trailer over your years of owning different trailers thanks !
It really didn't make a difference to me V-nose or flat what I did care about was the roof I didn't want a flat roof we get a lot of snow and I wanted it to all melt off so I wanted an arched roof for snow and for some additional Headroom and so you can't get an arched roof with a V-nose. From my dealer anyway. Thanks for the question.
Great work! It is so sad, that such a trailer wouldn`t work with german streets and german towing-vehicles and german parking-lots.
Nice job!

Dude, I love that metal brake set up... cool as frig

Nice.... can I borrow your outfitted trailer when I start to build my house? It sure would save me a lot of time and money 💰😃😎
Nice trailer
Fn dope setup

How did you make the sheet metal tops?
I had a sheet metal shop cut and break 18 gauge sheet metal with a 4-inch backsplash and 2.5 inches on the front with a hem. Then I stacked two pieces of 3/4 plywood, screwed and glued together, and then silicone the sheet metal to the top of that
@@Nick-vs9tq thank you! I'll be using this in my trailer
I watch this video 10 times.
I want this set up
How much you spend on that trailer?
The trailer was 13k before linex floor and build out
That is an awsome layout. I do HVAC and electrical so it has given me some good ideas
I like it. Simple and plenty of work space. Nice. Thanks for the viewing. 👍
Very nice--thanks for doing the video. I just bought a 6x12 and looking for ideas to build it out. I'm not in the trades, so I'm hoping I can get by with this size and still end up with something useful.
Love the husky/craftsman drawer setup with the workbench. Like the idea of having a mobile garage
That small break is a real nice addition - man I really need to get this size trailer

Nice 👍🏻
Beautiful trailer. What type of insulation did they use for the walls? And did you put the interior plywood up? What thickness? Thank you!
It's just fiberglass in the walls and ceiling, and the plywood is 3/4 that came from the factory. If I were doing it again, I would spray foam.
Wow. You have an outstanding setup ... looks great and gives me inspiration as I am trying to get my own trailer setup as we speak....

They do seem a little jealous from time to time but mostly they just give me a hard time about not having a microwave 😄
@@Nick-vs9tq what ????? no micro ? What about a kettle then ?

Impressive! Nice job. Wish I could be this organized
high & tight just like a work trailer should be. i like the brake setup
Nice trailer, well thought out.
Professional working tool trailer and helpful to others building clean efficient build , thank you . Love the work space in the middle.
Great to check out this trailer. I’m an hvacr guy and have been debating building a trailer for work. Great video. Great trailer.
Really nice and some great ideas. Looks really organized and well thought out
You have a contractors dream trailer
I keep coming back to watch your trailer video for inspiration on mine. Great work!
Hello from Kirkland WA! Great build, love the metal covered bench top and integrated drill press.
Nice Setup! I cant wait to build mine. What A/c heat pump did you get?
Did I hear you say u have a heat pump??? What model? We’re in Maine and could definitely use some direction there
It's a Dometic penguin 2 if I were to do it again I'd probably install one of those ductless mini splits because the heat pump kicks out whenever the outdoor temp is below 32 so it works fine in Mild cold temperatures but anytime it drops below freezing I have to put a supplementary heater in it you know like a little resistive fan type.
Very Nice...Well thought out!!
I like the using the toolboxes for the drawers good idea..
Outstanding job!
Super nice setup.
Buen trabajo
bravo! difficile de faire mieux
Wow, you did a great job. I like how you took inspiration from Paulk and made it work for you. Nice work.
Tremendous setup and layout.
Very nice
Beautiful job on the trailer. Where did you source the metal countertop? Also the sheet metal brake?
The sheet metal countertop I got from one of my local Fabricators that does my ductwork. The sheet metal brake is actually a Harbor Freight special.
This trailer is amazing
Sweet. I bet that is fun in a city!
Great job! I've been looking for a tool chest with locking drawers, do you know what the model number is?
The part number from sears is #00958630000; unfortunately, it's no longer available because of sears going out of business, and the craftsman they have at lowes is the cheap stuff.
Great build
Nice Job!

Wow, that’s an amazing build. Like you, I worked from a 7x14 for several years. It was well organized, but nowhere near the level of yours! Love the size, the height, and the organization you did.
Very well thought out. You definitely knew what you were looking for. Nice job!
Awesome! The exact video I needed to see. Thank you
Sweet trailer! Nice work!
Wow, another Ron Paulk geek. So you had a trailer for 11 years and couldn’t figure out how to organize it. I don’t think Ron Paulk could build a doghouse.
