The Trailer Trunk is the storage space at the back of a trailer. It lets a vehicle tow a large extra load behind it.
The trailer trunk comes in Heavy-Duty and Sports versions. Each version fits only trailers of its own type. The common Trailer, Horse Trailer and Livestock Trailer carry a Standard trunk of their own, listed under the Trunk - Big.
A trailer more than doubles what a small car can haul. It suits a survivor who wants to move supplies, building materials or a whole base without a big truck. The Mechanic is the best occupation for vehicle maintenance. It starts with the most Mechanics skill.
How to Use Trailer Trunk
The trailer trunk works as a large container on the trailer. Items inside travel with the trailer wherever it is towed. Moving goods by trailer is much faster than carrying them on foot.
The trailer trunk keeps its full space even when it is damaged. That makes it a dependable store compared with car trunks, which shrink as they wear.
Livestock trailers have extra slots alongside the trunk. One holds animal food and the other holds eggs.
The Horse Trailer and the Livestock Trailer also carry a Trunk Lid. A damaged trunk lid lets items fall out on the road, so it is worth checking before a long tow.
How to Install Trailer Trunk
The trailer trunk is fitted and removed by hand. Any survivor can do the job, whatever their Mechanics level. The animal food and egg slots of a livestock trailer are handled the same way.
The trunk must match the trailer type. A Heavy-Duty trailer trunk goes only on a Heavy-Duty trailer, and the same rule holds for the Sports version.
The tools, Mechanics level and knowledge the game asks for to fit the Trailer Trunk and to take it out again.
