    Thank you very much. I am getting ready to shoot the completion pictures. I am waiting for a wide angle lens to show up.
    The Tacoma springs were perfect until I added the 33 gallons (274 Lbs) of water. I am a air bag nut, so I added a set of Firestone air bags and they are working perfect. I love the smooth ride and I can change the ride height when needed. It also helps leveling and lowering the trailer when I get into camp.
    The cushions for the bed/couch come in this morning. TV is mounted and I made a rack to lock down the articulating mount while in transit.

    More to come.

    Thanks.

    Wow. Great job. Really making me look at the Wells Cargo with perverted thoughts of molestation... The axle was always the limiting factor but you made swapping it out look rather easy. Nice work.

    That of course leads to the next question: How much does it weigh loaded and ready for a trip?

    You did a great job!
    I am looking at Cargo trailers myself now.

    This is how the kitchen turned out. Still need to put the shelf in the upper cabinet.

    In my opinion, the most important part of the trailer. If you want the wife to go camping with you, this is a must.

    This a 32" LCD LED TV. I put it on a articulating mount so we can sit outside and still see the TV.

    This is the mount I made to lock down the TV in transit. You can see the two latches that lock the TV to the front wall.
