Aluminum Trailers for Motorhomes

Friday, May 25th, 2007

ATC aluminum trailers are the perfect compliment to any motorhome. Since motorhomes aren’t typically designed for heavy duty towing, a lightweight ATC trailer is certainly a great option. Due to our lightweight trailer frames, the stress and strain on your coach is greatly reduced.

Another great reason why many motorhome owners choose ATC is because the level of craftsmanship in our trailers matches the quality standards seen in many coaches. When you are used to the fine quality features and reliability in your coach, why would you expect anything less from your trailer?

Trailers with Screwless Aluminum Exteriors

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Motiv Trailers has had great success with screwelss exteriors. We use a 3M VHB tape that adheres the aluminum skin to the frame instead of using bulky fasteners. Typical fasteners, like screws, too often rust or pop off.

If you have vinyl graphics that go on your trailer, make sure you save yourself a headache and go screwless. Even without graphics, the look of a screwless exterior is unmatched. Screwless exteriors also help prevent water leaks in your trailer as well as reduce vibration noise while traveling.

Next time you are in the market for a trailer, make sure you check out the screwless exterior options. Some trailers from Motiv actually come standard with this high-line feature.

LED Clearance Lights

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

The Aluminum Trailer Company is always searching for news ways to improve not only the quality of our trailers but the interior and exterior look as well. An important change ATC recently made was to standardize LED lights on all trailer models. LED or light emitting diodes are an example of cutting edge technology. The LED lighting concept is extremely different then traditional incandescent lights. There are three main benefits to an LED lighting system. First traditional incandescent lights use a weak metal filament which is susceptible to bumps and vibration in the road. LED’s are a solid system (no moving parts) containing an electronic chip that creates a sturdy lighting device.

Secondly, LED lights are brighter then incandescent lights making them safer while traveling on the road. “In fact studies have shown that LED lights, because of there quicker and brighter response times, provide an extra 24′ of stopping distance at 60 mph”** Transportation Equipment News – January 2001

Finally, LED lights consume less energy. (up to 90% less) This means your tow vehicle’s electric system is not exuding as much energy to light up your tow vehicle which can help to save fuel and the life of your battery.

Aluminum Extruded Floors in Race Trailers

Monday, May 7th, 2007

Did you know that by selecting an aluminum extruded floor in your trailer you can save hundreds of pounds of weight. While aluminum extruded floors weigh slightly less than wood floors, the real savings comes when you compare an extruded floor to a wood floor with a decorative finish. By adding ATP, vinyl, or rubber on top of a wood floor, you can easily add hundreds of pounds to the curb weight of your trailer.

Since aluminum extruded floors are one of the most resilient floor options, it also greatly increases the resale value of your trailer. When it comes time to sell your trailer, you still have a lightweight, durable, good-looking floor.

The other big advantage to extruded floors is the strength it provides. Aluminum extruded floors are one of the strongest floors because when the aluminum floor is welded down to your aluminum frame structure, it acts like a cross member that spans the entire length of the trailer. With an extruded aluminum floor you can have the best of both worlds… the strongest AND lightest floor available.
