Can E-Tracks Attach to Dovetail of Trailer
Question:
Im planning to install e track in my 20foot v-nose enclosed trailer. There is a dovetail in the rear where the floor goes from level to a slight angle the last 38inch down to the door. Its not a huge change but enough. What is your recommendation for how to install the e track in this location? Do I simply put the e track over the change and screw it down and let it moldinch to the angle or should I stop the e track before the bend and then start a new piece? Any help is greatly appreciated.

E-track is not flexible to be bent around a dovetail like you have. You'd have to trim the track at the angle change and attach it in flat sections across the dovetail.
