    This beauty came home with me today. CAM Superline "Warrior", 6' 4" x 16', 10K# GVWR. Should be nice for hauling firewood, lumber, hay and it's even able to carry my tractor. I will soon be working on wood sides to fit the stake pockets. I may also look into finding someone to fab and weld on some rub rails.

    So, yes, one downside to this specific trailer is limited tie-down points, just 8 stake pockets for now. That's why I'm going to look into getting some rub rails welded on. I have rub rails on my older trailer and they are super convenient. I got a smoking bargain on this trailer, which leaves me with some cash left over for mods.

    Nice trailer! I was unpleasantly surprised the other day to discover that my hitch insert and ball were both rated at only 6k. The receiver part of the hitch is better, at 12k. I ended up buying a forged insert piece at 16k and ball at 14k as I had to move a heavy load and those were my only immediate options. Might want to be sure of those three components, in addition to the trailer’s max.

    Nice trailer. Wooden sides should work well. On ours, I ran a piece of threaded rod thru the sides to clamp front and back gates in place.

    18" removable sides allow for a full cord of green oak on mine.

    We have about 15-16" sides (2-2x8) built for this trailer. Full cord stacked on. Glad we have the dump trailer now. IMG_20171214_155952252.jpg
