Ok gang, after lurking here for almost 2 years, and spending a good 9 months in the design phase, We finally have something to post about. I purchased the steel back at the end of the year and have been working diligently making all the pieces come together. I 'acquired' a lot of ideas from you amazing builders here and I want to start off by thanking you all for documenting your builds and answering questions along the way.
This is my final thought on what it should look like when it is done.
Here were my mission requirements:
This is a look on the inside. There is a pull-out pantry for food, etc on the passengers side and open storage on the drivers side with access to the batteries and other electrical. The pantry in the back will host a 12v refrigerator and store my RV-Q stove that will attach on the outside when camp is set up.
I did get a chance back in August to start on the frame walls. I got that cutout and ready, but the wife-to-be says the flooring on the house had to get finished.
Here's a shot of the new carpet...
I'm using my Lincoln Electric 210MP for the welding.
Here's the spare tire/propane carrier welded up.
And the trailer frame coming together.
The frame is welded up except for a few gussets that will attach the floor and the 2"x3" angle that will assist in holding the walls up. Once I get some more time out in the shop, I will upload some more pictures of the frame and start detailing the progress better.
This is my final thought on what it should look like when it is done.
Here were my mission requirements:
- Parks in my garage.
- Queen bed.
- Decent storage.
- Solar recharge capability.
- Noco Shore power and charger connection.
- Spare tire and propane storage.
- Two doors (one on each side).
- Storage under the galley and pantry for two folding tables.
- Ability to attach an awning whether fabricated or purchased.
- Around $5k for the build.
