Using over 100 years of combined
industry experience,
weâ™ve chosen the best
products in the industry, many times
borrowing from the marine industry
the products used in this harsh
environment. Weâ™ve
selected high end fabrics,
electronics, power systems, plumbing,
and finishes. We have the
availability to finish our wood
cabinetry using ultra-high end
urethane finishes used primarily in
the corporate jet industry. Corian,
leather, granite, exotic woods,
marble, and ceramic tile is just some
of the optional interior trim
packages. We offer Bose® home
theater systems using plasma
televisions and Internet-capable
satellite dishes. We finish the
exterior using overlapped seamed,
riveted or bonded exterior aluminum
skins as well as bent seam
construction. On the high end, we use
1/8" thick aluminum, welded,
sanded, polished, and then custom
painted basecoat / clearcoat exterior
including custom graphics. Best of
all, you can get your trim style,
interior floorplan, and exterior
design custom designed using computer
aided drafting techniques. After you
approval and once construction
commences, you will be digitally
updated on a regular basis, so
whether you decide to visit during
construction or not, you can
âwatchâ
your design being built from start to
completion.
From the frame up, each aspect of
trailer construction is carefully
considered. The main frame rails are
steel tubing welded to 1/8 in. thick
cross-members. While most of the
trailer outriggers are fabricated
from the same structural support
materials, the fender box area, where
wall support is non-existent, a 4 in.
x 2 in. tube outrigger is used for
support on both sides of this
critical area. The same tubing is
also used as outriggers in the attic
areas on all fifth-wheel / gooseneck
models (semi-trailer construction is
completely different). These heavy
outriggers are used because of the
intense load the attic walls take
when attached to medium and heavy
duty trucks.
After fabrication, the frames are
degreased and coated with a
commercial truck body compound, not a
paint.
All ICC wiring originates from a
large commercial junction box. The 8
ft. pigtail has a molded plug on the
terminal end. Every wire connection
exposed to weather is encased in a
heat shrink terminal (including all
ground loops). All exterior lighting
is sealed in units with rubber bases
or grommets and is warrantied for
10,000 hours. Because of the wiring
products used, you won't spend time
troubleshooting lighting or cleaning
bulb sockets or bases.
The minimum wire size used for
wiring all trailer lights is 14
gauge; most manufacturers use 16
gauge wiring. Brake wiring is 12
gauge to carry the amperage required
for efficient braking.
All wiring, both internal and
external, that passes through tubing
or any metal section is protected by
snap bushings and secured with
grommets and fasteners.
Wall studs on all models are
constructed from tubing. 1 in. steel
tubing is used on EXplorer models, 1
1/4 in. steel tubing on EXplorer EXL
and Ex Prolite, and 1 1/2 in.
aluminum tubing is standard on all CC
Silver Eagle models.
Exterior skin is sealed with 100%
silicone on all seams and the
aluminum is either riveted using
aluminum rivets or bonded using
high-performance 3M adhesive. All
roofing is seamless aluminum and
varies in thickness from .024 in. on
the EXplorer and EXplorer EXL models,
.032 in. on the CC Prolite models,
and .040 in. on the CC Silver Eagle
models.
In short, only high quality
materials and fabrication techniques
are used on each of our products to
give you many years of trouble-free
service when you choose to purchase
your The toy Lot trailer or truck
conversion!
