    Default My new trailer/camper build

    I had been looking for a trailer that I could use for storage and moving. In my searches, I found one that can also be used for camping (its also set up for ice fishing). Its a 2005 6x12 Haulmark. It is slightly used, but in really good shape. It has been lined with spray insulation and then paneled over that. There has been more lights added, and a stereo that will run off either the vehicle or 12v battery in the trailer. It is also plumbed for a propane heater big enough to heat a garage. The guy said that they went a little overboard on the heater, and the the trailer is so well insulated that the pilot light is just about enough to heat it.

    I am planning, in the future, to replace the tires with the same tires and wheels that I have on the Mountaineer, so in a worse case scenario, if I were to get two flats, my trailer spare is the same as the truck.

    These pictures are just from when I went to pick it up.



    Sams club is no joke! (Stocking the camps snackery to the tune of roughly $950!)

    I agree completely. Thats not what it will be used for. It will be set up as a base camp, and we can head out with a smaller trailer that I am currently designing. (pre build)

    As for the sugar, I am a summer camp manager, and I had to fill our snackery. It just so happened that there was a sams club in the town i picked up the trailer in, so it was the whole two birds with one stone thing.

    Sweet little setup to have as a base camp. You should install some "pull down bunk beds" off the walls of the camper.

    I have been trying to decide on what to do for beds. One temporary idea was a cheap couch/futon thingy. Then we could sit in it during the day. You have a link to those bunk beds you are talking about?
