I'll second what Lac infers about the suspension after having seen the carnage it can do to a 30 on the rural roads of Oz.

1. Get the best suspension you can.
2. Get a ramp door on the back
3.?Get the best suspension you can.
4. Install tie down Hooks or rails?
5.?Get the best suspension you can.
6. Consider Dimmable red LED strip lighting on the inside, near the top but ?facing upwards to soften the glow?
7.?Get the best suspension you can.
8. Trailer roof racks are a handy option.?

Oh, and did I mention to get the best suspension you can?

Since we've had so much recent traffic, let me try to continue it.?

Im in the market for a new telescope trailer. I've been doing my due diligence and researching different manufacturers and I've finally settled on a brand. I can't find exactly what i want and need so I'm going to have one 'custom made'. It'll be a regular 5x8 aluminum trailer with torsion axle with a few mods to make observing life comfortable.?

Here are my questions. 2 fold.?

1. Does anyone have any experience with insulation in an enclosed cargo trailer? It's a cheap option and I'd probably do it. I just wonder what some other scope owners may have to say about it. Do it? Avoid it??

2. What are your "must haves" when it comes to a trailer? Options? Opinions??

Thanks in advance and clear skies!?
