Default RE: Trailers!?!?!?!?

Where did you get the metal rods going from the 2 x 4's across the trailer, and what do you use to secure your wings/planes to the racks with?
2slow2matter,

The metal rods are 1/2 electricial conduit. I just drilled a 3/4" hole in the 2x4 for the conduit to fit in to. I did it this way so I could remove the rods if I wanted to haul something big in the trailer.

I have a bunch of 1 inch straps ordered that I will be screwing to the conduit to secure the planes to the conduit.

The TV is for my wireless video, but I do have an antenna for it too in case my grandson gets bored and wants to watch TV.

I'm also putting in a small propane heater so I can work inside the trailer during the winter or just stay warm when I'm out flying in the winter.

The radio and speakers I picked up at Walmart for around $50.00. I just used a piece of 1/2" ply to mount the radio and speakers to.

Hope this helps.
