why do you think my trailer is out on the side of the shop behind some razor wire/barb wire combo? Looks like Folsom Prison over there on the side now haha! Got cameras and motion detectors just like the pen. Ya, i could have easily fit the 3rd machine (the laser) without taking it out. But after taking it camping last weekend and seeing how much space it free'd up, i just had to leave it out. I asked the landlord if i could park it there for a small fee and he agreed. I spent a grip making it safe, at least safe enough for me to sleep at night. But now i got a TON more space! i love it! Oh, side benefit, i can actually get my own trailer in and out without using the landlords forklift. It used to have to be maneuvered in a way my truck couldn't fit. Now i can whip it in and out by myself! the 4x8 laser table should be here in about 2 weeks. I can't wait!2 points

why thanks. Ya i couldn't believe how badly the bolts were caving in that door. I knew it was hollow but damn not that hollow. Being a trailer i know the manufacturer is trying to cut weight anywhere they can so it isn't out of the ordinary. But this solution worked well. Plus, the wall mount tilts giving me access to two spring clips. I pull on those and the screen pops off very easily. I lay it on the bed for transport so it isn't pulling down on the door for 5 hours of road trip Just hang it back up, plug it in as soon as we arrive at our site and it's good to go. I like this MUCH better.1 point

Wow, life has changed a lot since i got my CNC machine(s). I got my first one right after i got this trailer and all the sudden i got BUSY. I haven't had a lot of time to work on this trailer although we still use it all the time. Long story short, i got tired of dealing with the projector and wanted to make a change. Having a projector was cool and all but it became sorta a hassle. You have to wait for it to warm up. You can't really sit up in the bed and not bock it. It was nice but i just wasn't thrilled overall with it. Got the job done though! Recently, I changed it up a bit. LED TV screens don't weigh much so i decided to grab a 43” and hang it on the door. The door is hollow and weak so i had to take measures in order to bolt the wall mount to it. I could barely tighten these bolts enough to flatten the lock washers and it just wanted to cave in on me. I decided a backing plate of some sort was in order. Something to spread the load on the door.1 point
