that's going to be a very heavy door you're going to need dual pulleys doubled up electric come along is there something to pull that door up I don't see it spring loaded at the bottom it's going to be a real nasty door
Nice work on rebuilding the trailer but in my opinion you made one huge mistake and that is leaving the scotch lock wire connectors. At one time I worked at a car stereo shop which we did car stereos, alarms, running boards, etc, just about every vehicle accessory you could think of. The one thing we found is of any install the shop did where some new or lazy installer used scotch lock connectors, if there was an electrical problem with the install, the scotch locks were the problem. The good installers who cared about their work, would never use scotch locks because of all the problems we had experienced with them and if it was anywhere other than the interior of the vehicle, the electrical connections were soldered and heat shrunk. I've repaired and replaced the wiring on many a trailer over the years for many people where all electrical connections were soldered and heat shrunk and no one has ever had a problem with their trailer wiring that I replaced. When it comes to preventive maintenance on trailers or vehicles exterior electrical connections, soldering and heat shrinking the wires will save you a lot of work down the road.
I've been working with car audio/wiring and car wiring in general for years and here's my advice- solder those taillight wires and get rid of those squeeze on quick connectors. Those connections will come back to haunt you later.

i don't care what he works on he always does excellent work i wish i had his talent
Looks good I've kinda been looking for black screws for the same job I'm doing, where you find them at?
I like your chair is your garage 😉
Cut aluminum with a razor knife. Score it once then bend it, it will just snap
I use high temperature engine paint on my mufflers makes them last about 5 years I paint the pipes and everything
I don't like white walls with that bug was way cool.
I always turned the blade backwards on the saw and it leaves a cleaner cut on aluminum.
Why overlap vertical? Horizontal would have been better for water leaks (Roof tiles).
Noticed you need a load stabilizer hitch. Used it on our work trailer. You'll like it.
GO AHEAD….FLICK YOUR HIGH BEAMS !
As usual, nice job !
