I did a LOT of research before selecting Snapper (a division of Georgia Made Trailers) to build my custom trailer. I finally settled on Snapper. I’m glad I did. They make a fantastic product with a lot of attention to detail.  This video is my introduction of Snapper Trailers to you.

Yesterday, I went to Cycle Werks in Bowling Green, OH to get some cardboard so that I can mock up my interior layout. And, as a first step, I put 3 bikes in the proposed cargo/garage area to make sure that it matches my expectations.  Just by doing that, I learned that I will probably want to put the bed/benches further forward so there’s more room for the toys. Having the bikes on the floor was my initial thought. I may explore hanging the bikes from the wall, instead.  This will give me more room at the back and make better use of the vertical space – which is basically wasted space above the bikes in the horizontal configuration.

Here’s the video that convinced me to further investigate the Proven Industries trailer locks.
I realize that they didn’t really give it a full effort to break the lock, but that video inspired me to look around and, site after site indicated that the Proven Industries lock was the best lock on the market. I should let the insurance company know that I’ve invested in a good lock. Maybe my rates will go down.
