Also, the wood looks great, but a little moisture or the inevitable oil/grease or even sand that gets on them will make it SLICK = bad news. A decent size roll of skateboard tape is cheap insurance and still would look good on the wood.

Overall nice job though, better than I could do on my own.

I have wondered about a much lighter duty use for an RV trailer. How much re-enforcing do you have to do to make those work? I'm thinking of something more along the lines of a 15-20ft flat bed for personal use. Probably something along the lines of 8K gross or so.
