I am so proud to present Superior Auto Interiors' NEW 2013 custom-made, 7'x14' Tandem Axle V-Nose Enclosed Trailer!! I have worked so hard over the last 2 years to build this company and this has been something I have been dreaming of since day 1!

The trailer has a 3M Screwless Exterior...when I get some vinyl advertising put on, there won't be any screws or rivets in the way!

Rear ramp and 32" side door with RV style lock AND bar lock for added security.

My FAVORITE part! Custom made cabinets!! On the left hand side is the generator box where my generator will sit and be accessible from the outside! Also pictured here is the LED lighting (as opposed to incandescent).

I got the full electrical package which includes a 60amp breaker box, 2 4' overhead lights, a dome light, a wall switch, 2 electrical sockets (which I had place in the v-nose and one just inside the ramp) and a 25' chord to plug the entire trailer into a house or generator to draw power! You can also see the roof vent which is framed to fit an air conditioner should I ever decide to install one.

This is the generator box where my generator will sit. It has a ventilated, locking door and I am going to create a heat shield for added protection and a slide-out for convenience.

Tongue, 25' power cord, electronic trailer breakaway unit. Also, 24" ATP stoneguard as opposed to the standard 16".

I've been SUPER busy creating computer generated 3D models of what the trailer inside will look like once I am finished customizing it with all of my detailing equipment! I will post these within the next few days!

I am so excited and pick the trailer up in about 5 days!!!

And I suppose, of course, that I should not end this post without asking...what does everybody suggest for maximum protection and shine on the exterior? THANKS FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE COMMENT!!!

That's a real nice unit.
Congrats and good luck!
White paint on inside walls would make it feel larger inside and reflect light nicely.
Something that's easy to clean.
Go get 'em!

If at all possible Opti-Guard.

Looks awesome!!! Have you thought about getting the floor Line-ex'd? This way if there are an spills in side the plywood wont soak it up

I'm going to give the floors a couple coats of sealant once I get it home. I'm also going to install some diamond plate on the walls of the v-nose between the upper and lower cabinets.

I agree with the suggestion of brightening up the interior should you decide to do so. Especially since wook naturally darkens over time. However, rather than use white paint you might be better served to use a white wood stain. Five (5) years ago we used white wood stain on wood surrounding an enclosed deck we built and it has been serving us very well where harsh winters abound near Lake Erie's shore. We've actually come to like using the stain (on bare, unpainted wood) better than paint. The stain seems to soak farther into the wood, where paint tends to sit of the surface.

I'm a big fan of brightening it up in order to "feel" larger and it will certainly allow you to see much better inside the unit.

What a beautiful Trailer. Do you have a shop or are you Mobile. I was thinking about getting one of those open trailers with everything on it. One problem In some areas like condos or small streets there's no room for my truck and trailer to park, I was wondering how you were going to deal with that if in fact you are Mobile. Jeff

SuperiorAutoLLC · 10-25-2012, 10:29 AM

That is something I will definitely look into. Thanks for your suggestions!!

Nicholas@Autowerx · 10-25-2012, 10:30 AM

Very nice! The custom cabinets will come in handy I'm sure. I really like the generator cutout.

I agree with the suggestion about putting some sort of coating on the floor to protect from spills.

Thanks Jeff! Yes, I am mobile, no shop (yet). I actually have an open utility trailer with my current equipment mounted on it (search my forum name and you will see some other threads about my current trailer).

I have not yet encountered a problem with limited space to the point where I can't take on a job. Often times condos or apartment buildings have a "wash" station the size of several parking spots where I can take the customer's vehicle and work on it with adequate space to park my truck and trailer.

Good luck and PM me if you want more info on using an open trailer setup.
