Hello Bruce, Thanks for writing in! Using butyl tape between the trailer body and the Single Axle Jeep Style Trailer Fender - Diamond Plate Aluminum - 13" to 15" #HP96VR is exactly the route I would go. It stays flexible, creates an…
Good question, Tina - you’re in the safe zone with the M-3 aluminum plate #M348FR. It’s 3/16 inch thick and fully welded across the piano hinge (some cheaper ones are just bolted instead of welded), so even with heavy mowers or small tractors, it…
Hey Alan - you can absolutely use the M3 plate at the door-to-floor gap. Many folks run one on the outside edge and another inside for a totally smooth roll-through. The steel plate #M368FR gives you extra strength if you’re using pallet jacks or…
Hey Dylan - both M-3 plates measure 81-3/4 inches wide, so you'd need to trim off a little bit. The aluminum one #M348FR would be easier to trim, so I'd pick that over the steel one. The hinge runs the full width so you’ll still get solid…
We have quite a few options Marvin! The Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer item #M386FR you were looking at, is designed for trailer doors 94-3/8"- 95-3/8" wide. It comes with all mounting hardware and brackets,…
Hey Robert, we have rubber lip seals for compartment doors on RVs with the part #SR92FR which is a 15 foot long section. Did yours fail over time or did it fall off?
Hey Bert, the biggest difference would be the Load Range which is a fancier way of saying the weight capacity. The Continental 235/75R17.5 HTR2 LRH has a Load Range of H whereas the Provider 235/75R17.5 LRJ is a Load Range J which means it has a…
Hey Dustin. I installed the Enclosed Trailer Transition Plate item #M368FR on a trailer here when we first got them in and you're good! That plate is single solid piece of steel. It's got a heavy duty piano style hinge that has been riveted…
Hello David, I am sorry but we do not have an install video at this time. Here is a break down on how to install, if you do not feel like doing the install yourself, I did attach our Dealer Locator if you want to pay someone to get the job done. To…
Hey Jack, If you're talking about a transition plate then you'll want the etrailer Enclosed Trailer Transition Plate #e32JR. This can be installed on either end of the ramp to help make the transition onto easier or at the hinge of the ramp…
Hey Kyle! That is correct. The Coleman-Mach Mach-C Everest has variable-speed cooling and an inverter-driven compressor. However, the Mach-C Everest uses a traditional wall thermostat instead of a remote control. It also works with both ducted and…
Hey Donny, welcome back! As of right now, the BTBRV Trailer Jack Foot Scale #BTBRV014 is the only version we have available on its own. As you saw, we have an etrailer version that is available with some of our trailer jacks like #e63KV, #e83KV, and…
This site is top notch: Great prices, great service. Highly recommended.

Trailer Door Parts for easy access and upkeep
Keep your ramp and entry working the way you want with latches and locks matched to your door cutout, heavy-duty hinges and bumpers for ramp doors, and drip guards or seals that stop water from sneaking in. For lift help, choose ramp springs by door weight, width, shaft size, and left/right orientation—there are dual-spring setups with ends that turn independently—and add transition plates; some installs may need small catch or bracket tweaks.
Make clean 90° corners by cutting mating 45s. A simple 45° miter jig to hold the bulb seal and a sharp knife can improve the cut. Glue the 45° corners together—Loctite super bonder 495 was used successfully—to form the corner. Dry fit first to check compression and sealing before final bonding.
Yes—plates have handled 1100lbs tool boxes and 800lbs tire machines and worked well. Only part of a mower's weight sits on the plate at a time. Check your ramp width for full coverage and plan for trimming if needed. Mount securely to help reduce flex and protect the ramp edge.
Add a drip rail above the door. Extending it beyond the opening on both ends stopped water that rolled inside when the vehicle was wet or raining. Position it so runoff is directed away and seal any fasteners to prevent leaks.
Match the spring to your door's weight and width. If you use dual springs, each end can turn independently to help when ground under the tailgate isn't level. Verify shaft size and spring length—some setups use a 1-1/2" shaft and 10" long springs—and confirm left/right orientation. If tension is set so the door stays down but won't wind all the way up, the door may be too narrow for that spring size.
Measure the cutout and face size first. Some latches fit a 3-3/8" x 4-5/8" cutout and measure 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"; larger cutouts may need modification or a different latch. Consider an inside release for safety. On install, the paddle arm may need a slight bend to fit the strike slot. Confirm key count if you expect 2 keys.
