Thank you so much for including photos, MAP56 - I think that looks great! Is it difficult to clean? Do you find that it is holding up well to rocks and washing the trailer after road trips? Thanks again for sharing your experiences. Nice trailer, BTW!
Thank you all for your responses. I am going to go with roll-on or gun sprayed protectant, as the canned spray-ons (even of the same brand) don't have as high a durability rating from users, according to the online reviews. Still unsure if I will go with off-white, gray or black. The photos have been helpful and they all look really nice!
Nice thinking Franswa, but the custom box is so damned expensive as it is that I don't dare ask the fabricator to do anything more... or he'll add on another several hundred to it and it is already way over what I had budgeted for! Plus, I have seen some images where the diamond plate wings are welded to the sides of the tongue and it looks a bit odd to me... not quite the sleek look that having diamond plate right on the front wall gives (of course, what about a
Bigfoot is sleek anyway, right... she looks like a rolling Twinkie). I was planning to purchase an off-the-shelf pre-made diamond plate tongue box and spent days looking at everything that was available, but with the unusual angle of the
Bigfoot trailer front wall and the position of that front
light over the
propane storage area, none of them would have worked well for the intended use of storing two 6V batteries, 1-2
propane bottles and chock blocks. Would that I were a welder, but alas, I am not.
