    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

    Default One more step completed.

    So the DC portion of the electrical system is complete. All systems have been tested.

    Getting closer. Trying to find interior finishes I like.
    This area wil be covered by a cabinet and will be accessed by a door.

    Jeff I must say I love what your doing here. But I may be stupid or I may have missed something through the thread. So here goes my? If your trailer box is 5' wide and the wings looking to be a foot wide or so. For a total of about 7' . And it looks to be the same width as your truck which you stated was about 74". There's a 1' difference there. Lol so is the box a 4' wide model . Maybe I'm just missing something on small cargo trailers when they say 5x10 model are they actually meaning they are 5' tall and 10' long???

    I think the trailer was sitting a little skewed when the photo was taken. The fenders stick out about 5" a side wider than the truck.
    My statement was meant to show that the body of the trailer is inside the slip stream of the truck.
    The 5" a side works because I can see the trailer in the side view mirror.
    Next trailer I build will be 6' inside clear and the wheels will be set in wheel wells recessed into the side. Being able to sleep across ways is huge to the interior layout.
    I can't wait to drag my trailer against some rocks or shrubs to see if they make a difference.

    Getting close. Inverter shows up on Friday.

    I know you've been to many great places with the FWC and with that in mind what type of trails and destinations do you anticipate being able to do with the trailer? It would be fun to see photos of your trailer in the same location as the Eagle at Funnel Lake.
    Cheers!

    Jeff, sorry I'm late to the party, but I have been a little busy. The Cargo Trailer is looking good! I like the running boards and stabilizers and I think the kitchen turned out very nice. Good work!

    How are the Tacoma springs working out (if you've been able to try them out)?

    Oh, and I like the Camo wrap (photoshop), too!
    Movin' right along.In search of good times and good news,
    With good friends you can't lose, This could become a habit..
    Opportunity knocks once, let's reach out and grab it.
    Together we'll nab it. We'll hitch-hike, bus or yellow cab it!
    Cab it?
