Featherlite, Inc. reserves the right to change or alter these specifications without notice. Dimensions shown are approximate and may vary. Some trailers shown with optional equipment. See a Featherlite dealer for most up-to-date specifications and options.
Featherlite uses the pierce-and-roll rivet system in the fabrication of its roof to minimize water leakage. This system is also used by airplane manufacturers, and it fastens the aluminum sheets to each other without piercing the inner sheet. Water has a harder time entering the trailer, since no rivet hole fully pierces the trailer’s roof.
