I have some axles that have been cut off, if you want something to cap those holes with. Granted, a piece of steel would work fine too.

Going to leave both axles under it and just single out the wheels.Would like to put some super singles under it like the truck but maxed out on funds now.

Young man, you've got it backwards! Your deuce is supposed to be tandem axles and the trailer single! I suggest re-reading your TM's.

Would you be interested in fiberglass side racks for that trailer? I will be close to you on Wednesday when I pick up the lot that I won, and I don't need the deuce racks.

what are your plans for the trailer? You building a box and putting some of the moho parts in it? love the looks of that trailer!
Ya going to build a box.The main structure be steel.Going to take all of the liveing conforts from the motor home except for the toilet and bath room sink and add to the trailer.Slowly disecting the motor home so i can see,take picture,and video to refer to on how every thing is wired and hooked up.The wife and i are around 5 feet 6 inches so be just under 6 feet standing room.All so dropping the tail gate weld it and add another foot wich gives us around 14 feet to play with.

I think they both should be tandem ;)
Really don't like single axle trailers on the tracks we use, that's why I'm trading in my 105 Hardtop for a bolster w/ a box.
