Long time lurker here thinking I should probably give something back. So here is my current build as it happens.
About me: Average shade tree mechanic, hobby welder, nothing special but I enjoy working with my hands. I have a garage, 110/220v Hobart MIG, chop saw, angle grinder, compressor and air accessories.
Why: Purpose is a camp trailer that I can tow behind Toshi, my 2006 LC100 with OME lift and a few goodies. We own a 26' RV that I generally detest because you can't take it anywhere cool. It does, however, make camping with a 2 year old very easy. Goal here is to make overland camping just as convenient and to provide a camp trailer I can use on hunting trips into the mountains, desert and the like. Must be very capable off road but have a reasonable amount of family conveniences that are easy to deploy. Definite components include a CVT rooftop tent, exterior lighting, cooking station, water and awning.
What: I found a 2006 M1102a locally for a very good price. It looked barely used and had been sold in San Diego to a gentleman who used it to move to Idaho. He then sold it to me. Everything is stock except an auxiliary lighting kit he put on in haste instead of replacing the 24v bulbs. Still has everything else, soup to nuts. Unfortunately the seller duct taped the For Sale sign on it. Oh well.
The day I bought it:
Wedged into the "shop."
