The third should be the length and width of the trailer. The second one needs to be the length and width of the fifth wheel hitch, remember the measurement should be from the front of the cab to the end of the hitch.
We cut the first one to fit the cab (be sure to note if your cab angles in towards the front, you will want to cut these angles into the board). You may need to each measurement slightly but you will get a good idea of what size you need. And then multiply it by the same multiple you used earlier. Next you will need to measure every aspect you wish to recreate. Our trailer was 23â long and would have fed 75 or so (they didnât eat it). You can determine your multiple by how big you want your cake or how many you need to feed. We then multiplied each measurement by 4. Then we measured the cab LxWxH (we used the same width as the trailer, also our cab had a wind visor we did NOT include this in our measurement because we planned on making it separately with rice krispie.) When you measure the cab be sure to note the measurement of the 5th wheel hitch separately, as you will create this as a separate piece (it needs to be from the front of the cab Be sure to clearly record and label EVERY measurement, donât let DH be responsible for writing it down, (this piece of advice would have saved 4 hours of my time!). The company we made this one for gave us a toy that they sell in their store. The first thing we did was get a model of what we wanted to make. My husband is an excellent auto-body repair man, so his knowledge of how things look and are shaped is extensive (sometimes annoying). If you have a particular question PM me and i can answer and explain more that way. I can't give you every detail and measurement only because I dont have that much time at the moment, but I will do my best.

Now that we know how to do it hopefully the next one will be faster. Everything went ok but it was 2 people non-stop working. I was somewhat of a traumatic experience and relieving the 42 pain staking hours was a bit scary. I was a little overwhelmed when asked for directions on how to construct the semi cake I did last weekend.
