Anyone have any experiences with fiberglass FRP paneled trailers? Looking at an older T&E with these walls. Trailer is great condition. Thanks

As long as nothing is delaminating I wouldn’t be afraid of it. T&E builds good stuff. Might be a little heavy though.

The fiberglass laminate they used has been prone to crack if not stored out of the elements. I have a T&E toter that had long narrow cracks so I removed all the doors and windows and applied .040 aluminum in white using a 3m vhb and a cute little J trim from t&e. I see a stock car goosneck FRP every day on my way to work and it's in shambles. Large delamination areas. It's kinda strange looking with 16" dual tandem axles and a 2' extension built on top of the trailer (looks original) must be a ramp inside for some circle jerk. Anyway, give that baby a good inspection and remember to use short screws when mounting anything inside Smile
As with all T&E trailers the box is structural (frameless) so if there is any damage or rot I'd steer clear.
Good luck
