Manley ORV Original

How could I have not known about this place? I loves me an M416 profile trailer, and originals are getting tough to find. These folks are about 30 min from my house. Time for a recon road trip. :)

Questions to those that own one:

Does the "tailgate" open flush with the floor ? Or is it slightly higher or lower than the tub floor ? (think-ARB fridge on a slide) If it is higher, how did you mount your ARB fridge on a slide so it doesn't hit the tailgate ?
 
I don't have a fridge in the trailer, but the tailgate is not flush with the floor in the open position. It would be about 1-1.5" above the tub floor. A pic from Manley's site:

Had all of the boats loaded up and out on the lake this weekend. This is a 17' canoe, and 14' and 12' kayaks. The weekend before I hauled about 1500 lbs. of rock with the trailer, and before that it was a whole load of firewood. Loving the versatility of this MORV trailer. :smiley_drive:

Finally got around to bedlining the tub with Monstaliner, after I had sufficiently beat the daylights out of the powdercoat on the inside. Time to start putting it back together tonight... :sombrero:
