want to install in a utility trailer.. trailer only has thin metal roof, maybe 1/8 inch thick.. will this install o.k.??

I installed one on a Dodge van. Roof was very thin as well. The self-tapping screws (I purchased the recommended screw and sealant tape kit) anchored the vent bezel to the roof rather well. The inside plastic section would not anchor to the headliner directly so I backed it up with 1"x 2"x 16" pine strips. If you don't have a headliner, you may want to drill the holes and use bolts and nuts to prevent injury from the protruding screw points.

I doubt it-the roof vent frame is a lot thicker from top to bottom as you can see in the image-and requires a multiple layered roof to be able to fit-I would suggest checking out flat vent covers that have a mount frame that fits flush to the roof-or you might consider a side vent

Yes, should be a long enough. Just be sure to cover with tape any corners that are sharp to prevent a hole from forming in the cover. Rain gutters and the bottom corners on the trailer seem be sharp enough to wear a hole in the cover.

I am not sure if it would fit your trailer...mine is on a boat trailer. But I have had no problems with any rust or corrosion.

Yes it will. I added a center clamp in the front to make sure when I haul it on a trailer that it will nor damage it. I purchased a clamp at an electrical supply store like the ones that come with the top. I also add a wood spacer to male it fit. You will need 2 longer bolts because of the distance between the top and the new clamp. Not sure it is needed but just a small cost to be on the safe side. I am sure Lowes or Home depot has the metal conduit clamps like the ones that come with the top. Nay other questions let me know. I purchased the green one and wish I had ordered the camo one.

Should work fine. I use mine on a trailer but using the bars from my roof rack

I'm guessing here, but installing this on a trailer that is itself being towed would change the dynamics of a trailer and its safe operation behind your vehicle. That is to say, trailers are typically not designed for or meant to be a tow vehicle themselves. So the company is probably stating the obvious, and doing so for liability reasons as well as thinking about the safety of you and others around you.

My understanding is that if the trailer has a square exterior access door, not rectangular, yes it will.

It should -- roof openings are pretty much a "standard size" in RV's -- we were satisfied with the purchase of this item.

If the straightest part on your trailer is less than 7-8 feet long then I would say no as it is pretty stiff on the part you slide into the trailer awning track. However if your trailer is straight for 7-8 feet before the tear drop it might be possible. Sorry I hoped that made sense.

I'm not home to measure my trailer right now, but I believe it the same as yours. It is a standard jet ski trailer made with square steel tubing. The bracket for the jack does allow for some variation on height since it uses four bolts (two on top and two on bottom) that basically sandwich the jack to the frame. I think you will be fine. PS - this is very nice jack. -Mike

I think so...I even went to Lowes and added a link and extra 2" PVC to make them longer. Check your trailer dimension like 3"X5" against the hardware with kit.

That depends completely on the bracket on your trailer. I couldn't find a bracket locally to fit it. It seemed like a good strong wench though.

Should work with any trailer but remember its specs are Rated up to 10,000 GTW / 1,000 TW. If you plan on exceeding this you need to go with a bigger setup.

I was able to install this in a 2003 GMC Yukon XL with a moonroof without a problem. It was neccessary to add a thin piece of plywood above the headliner to carry the weight because attaching directly to the roof supports would have interfered with the moving parts of the roof.

Not sure about shingles. I used it on my camp trailer and it seemed to do the job...no leaks now. If you've isolated the leaking area, and layed it on pretty thick, it might work. Roof leaks are hard to pinpoint. But, for the price, it'd be worth a shot.

The backing plate you see Rich, to bolt it on your trailer use a all thread bolt and bolt it on this way. if you have a friend with a welder just have him tack it a couple places on the bottom. You really should not have to I never did. Hope this helps.

I simply screwed mine into a wood deck and that works fine. As long as the base is firm AND LEVEL it should be fine. I emphasize level. otherwise you will have problems getting the roof panels in.
