In principle it comes off the ATC line tomorrow and then about 2 weeks for delivery. Very excited and nervous to pull such a big beast.

Were the bolts through the horizontal frame piece at the junction of the wall and roof? Not sure what it's called in a trailer.

Was the interior of your trailer finished? If so, how did you get access the the ceding cross members?
Great idea

Any thoughts about fatigue for those fasteners?
