I.I.F.I.F.M. Trailer Build

[Backroad Explorer]

No Trans went out and I sold it and bought a 2003 Ford F-350 Crew Cab.

Then gave My Sis & Her Hubby the Travel-Eze for their anniversary and bought a 2002 34' Montana Mountaineer Bumper Pull Trailer for the F-350.

My buddy has an 88 Suburban with the 6.2 and added Banks turbo, that thing really is a tank. Tows his IH Scout with it and averages 16 mpg when towing and 20 mpg when not towing.

Man-O-Man Between work and rain I can't get a thing done outside.

So Today I did a little layout in the shop to see how things will fit.

Stove will be level with top of Ice Chest and will have Drawers below.

This Area is were the back of the box is tapered up to make the Top 5' x 7'.



Next I'll make a few cardboard cutouts for a 16 or 18 Gallon Fresh Water Tank, Sink/Counter Slide & Kitchen Slide.
Then mock up The Box and Storage Area along with the Power Dist. Box.
P.D.B will be next to Ice Chest in it's own compartment accessed from a Door on the left side.

I'm thinking of changing the Solar Panel Slide to pull out from the rear instead of the left side.
That way i can use only 1 panel at a time if I'm just staying for the Day.

Thanks Thom!

I do my general ideas on Graph Paper then do them in cardboard. It's a lot easier to see in life size.
If I only could figure out Google Sketchup.

Dirtytires could you Please schedule that Sunshine for Monday & Tuesday next week.
Thank You Very Much!!!

Finialy had time to get the kitchen slide & water tank mock ups done

Kitchen Slide is 17x17x52



Right side door opens to support side table.



Backside of slide behind stove. Room for 5-1lb or 2lb propane bottles.


and how they sit in the trailer


Next as soon as the sink comes I'll do a sink/counter slide.

Now with Dirtytires help with the weather for Monday & Tuesday I'll get some things accomplished on the trailer.
