        Toterhome, Motorhome, and Enclosed Trailer Design Methods  

    Using over 100 years of combined industry experience, we’ve chosen the best products in the industry, many times borrowing from the marine industry the products used in this harsh environment. We’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 “watch” 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!
