Well it may as well start here, I'm also in the middle of doing my own Trailer build ! I'm sure it won't be as detailed of a description blow by blow but I'll do my best to show progress as it come along. due to the Obama change of Times we've had to regroup and change the Lifestyle that we were accustomed to like so many others???:Wow1:
I still love the outdoors and want to keep the family out and about seeing this wonderful west coast we live in and all it has to offer, it's just the way were going to do it is going to be a little different! LOL! My wife isn't totally on board but as we do a few trips she'll join right in! :snorkel:
So I'm doing a box Trailer a lot like many on here but with a few little changes in the Build to make it my own. 5' x 6' box with a slide out kitchen, rear access door , RTT w/annex and a ARB Awning, Battery Box to hold charger/inverter, 20 gal water tank with on demand pump.. and what ever else we can throw at it.
Since I bought the material we've moved homes and went from a roomy 3 car Garage to a small 2 car . Between moving and getting organized it has taken a little more time than I would have liked but I'm trying to give it a solid day and a half a week to work on it!
The worst part about living in Vegas is that all the steel you buy is only ava. in 20' lengths??? That part Sucks!
The Steel;
2"x4" .095 Rear bumper
2"x3" .095 Main Frame
2"x2" .065 Cross members
1.5"x1.5" & 1"x1" .065 Box structure
1" & 1.5" 1/8" wall band strap
14 & 16 Gage sheeting
The Layout?? had to Draw it on the floor to figure out what I was doing! :bigbossHL:
