Typically light weight camp and utility trailers contain very few components summarized as the body, frame, suspension, axles and fenders. Many times an old used trailer is purchased primarily for one or more of the aforementioned components and subsequently rebuilt. There are also homemade trailers that are fabricated from all individually purchased components. If, under special circumstances, this policy is applied to a trailer 10,000 lbs. or more gross weight capacity, then it should only be used as a guide since these are typically commercial trailers and discretion is advised.

On flatbeds and open box trailers this will mean the floor material and will also include the sides on a an open box trailer.
