ok ... lurking for a while and soaking up info .... 2 things that bother me ... this forum does not separate paragraphs (weird) .... and I will be too old to do anything by the time I save for the trailer I would desire in my mind .... new to all of this and of course I find that I want all the best of everything as I dream .... but back to reality ... just finished three years of working on this
more to do but it is running driving steering and stopping ..... we own a small popup tent camper coleman thing ... two big beds and keeps you dry ... tiny wheels and will go anywhere there is pavement ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** my attempt at paragraph separation..... I want kitchen setup ... hot water ... some lights ... roof top tent ... to start .... quick total of wish list quickly approaching several thousand dollars and no trailer to put stuff into ..... at the end of the month going to roommates house in Moab where she believes she has an old pickup bed trailer that I can have for free ..... this just came up for sale in the trailer section http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/137072-Pickup-Bed-UTILITY-TRAILER ..... it is very close to my latest vision ... add a tailgate and a topper and I have a trailer for a few hundred bucks ..... thought I would throw out my idea .... I know it is heavier than I would like it to be and have scanned a few threads about these type of trailers but they seem to fall off rather quickly and do not show much ..... I like the ladder rack (or similar) because you can still have a topper .... maybe keeping the gas tank for more fuel ... room underneath for water storage ... it has a lot of win win for me and my wallet and it will get us past the masses and should be able to contain all I want and give the scout freedom to roam around and leave the trailer as a base camp ..... opinions and ideas welcome ... thick skinned with a not fragile ego so for the bashers and naysayers bash and naysay away .... it may help my train of thought .... happy to be on this site ....
