Ideas for discount trailer cabinets? - 04/28/15 04:34 AM

I ordered a new Rance 28 foot enclosed race trailer, but I didn't spring for any cabinets because they were an extra 1800 bucks, and I felt like I was already spending too much.
Does anyone know where to buy some decent trailer cabinets at a discount? I prefer smooth, not diamond plate.

Thanks, Joel

This is why guys pop tires because they have everything in there trailers including the heavy wood kitchen cabinets and then blame it on cheap china tires.

IMO Hemijoe, you should have gone for the factory trailer cabinets, they are worth the money the factory charges, imo. It would be all done and lightweight when you get the trailer.

Plus having a heavy trailer cost you more fuel money every mile towed.

I've used old locking file cabinets with nice suspension drawers bolted up in the nose.

He's right. I had a buddy put his own cabinets in from home depot and they weighed twice as much as the factory ones.

I designed mine and built them out of marine grade plywood and a Formica counter top. It turned out good and I am not a carpenter.
I built them in 2 trailers I had and the last 2 trailers I bought the metal ones with the trailers. Easier to buy them installed and you don't notice the difference in the payment anyways.
All the cabinets I looked at were expensive and not built for my space I wanted them for. The reply above looks like good cabinets so that would be a good place to price them and see how it compares.
Good Luck

thanks for all the great advice guys. I definitely don't want to have something heavy, poorly made, or tacky in my new trailer. I'm thinking more along the lines on getting a cheap price for the good stuff. Like buying at wholesale instead of retail. that link from Charlie looks pretty good. I could probably get what I need for a grand and save a thousand, once you include tax.
