First Expedition Trailer Build

[ridelbz15]

Hello All, ive been following lots of expedition portal threads for a few years now and finally made the jump to building my own expedition trailer. I was browsing an auction here in town and saw that they had a military style trailer on the lot, long story short i won it by a pre-bid for $250 and brought it home yesterday. its a 1954 Dunbar i dont know what M style it is but its about perfect size for what i have planned so here's some pics

Sweet base!

 

[Toyotero]

That looks pretty sweet, a great deal for the $.

That was a sweet deal. It looks super clean. That shell was worth the purchase price alone.

Thanks guys! plans are:
-Make water Tight
- reinforce roof (sags a little in the middle)
- paint hunter green
- make mounts for propane tank
- water storage with pump
- awning off the side
- Eventually a RTT
- Make a slide out drawer inside full length with fold out kitchen
those are the plans i have so far lol iv been going through the threads and cheking out other builds on these trailers, ive never seen any with the steel roof, anyone know if its a factory job or someone added it?
