[QUOTE="4x4dually, post: 1245886, member: 4100"] I look at it this way. I can take this $3600 used trailer we bought in 2004 and dump about $4000 into it. Then it will be like new and surely worth more than those $7000 rusted out buckets of crap on craigslist and the internet. You have been looking for one too, correct? I can't find anything 24' long that isn't a complete piece of crap for less than 7K. It is ridiculous. Base price on a new Tavalong Advantage 24' is $11,500! Holy schickies! It is an investment. Pure capital accumulation. On top of that, I'll know that I can hook on and go without worrying about something breaking on the road for the next 10 yrs. I've used it without any repairs except new tires since I bought it. I think it has earned a little love. ;) I bought some of these (from a different place) to do the wire terminations in the junction boxes. I think they will be pretty sweet. Additions, changes, etc will be simple as snap and unsnap. They aren't water tight but they will be in a box with conduit. [url=http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003K12QN0/ref=dra_a_rv_mr_hn_it_P1400_1000?tag=dradisplay-20&ascsubtag=c18a2861c81e043d0b0acf9845377e5d_S]http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003K12QN0/ref ... 45377e5d_S[/url] Every wire goes down the top center of the trailer. Just tag on to the one you want and hide it in the tubing. I drilled a hole and put in a rubber grommet under each box every tube where a wire needs to go. I'll pull it all before paint.
