Trailer Question

sox · 11-04-2022, 04:42 PM

Not sure if this is the right place to post , but I have a question. I just bought a enclosed car trailer and was wondering how you hang your spare slicks on the wall. I have a screwless exterior wall trailer. I really don’t want run fasteners thru the exterior wall. I have 3/4 “ plywood interior walls. Any suggestions?

We build our trailer with a 2 x 2 Square tubing on a 16 inch
center the length of the trailer. I would hang a bracket between
two of the square tubes with self-taping screws. Now if you
have a cheap trailer with angle instead of square tubing = you
will have to remove part of the interior walls and fab some brackets
to the angle.

I took pit pal slick mounts cut the mount part off the square tubing, welded them to flat
Stock so the tire would go flat against the wall , drilled pilot holes used self tapping fender bolts fits nice and tight,

Pit pal make a couple things for storing your spare. One is like a pocket that goes on the floor up against the wall. Another is for putting it up on the wall. The one up on the wall needs bolts through one of the ribs inside the sidewall. Or it will come loose as the trailer bounces down the road.
