Odyssey jeep trailer

Thank you Deepmud.
My Dad (with serius heart problems the last 20 years) is a real fighter and my hero inspiring me and my son...
There are a lot of projects we are working on just to spent time together....
Back on the axle.
I've towed several trailers (a m-100 included-while in the army-behind a MB GD240).
Couldn't be happier with my choice.

Done with the canvas side.
Did some test fitting.

Thought I could share some photos of the interior, with the side storing bunks and the laminate
flooring.
In the ''deepest'' point i can sit down on the side bench-bed np ( I am about 6΄1'').
In the highest point I can easily stand up and change clothes.

Here is a pic of how the side canvas panel is going to be secured.
After years and years of soft top experience in two different jeeps,I decided that
I like having the option of leaving the sides open whenever I fell like it
(like under a tree shade in the hot summer).
So...bungee cord it is and i can roll it up any time i want...
I don't mind of the extra 60 sec when setting up.

A closer look on the laminate flooring.
Some extra comfort for the feet never hurts ;-)

And finally started painting it...
Yes I will color match (one day) the Jeep color to the trailer....LOL

Progressing...

A couple of pics from the inside.
Side benches 78''x16'' serve as beds when deployed (78''x28'')
The plan is to sleep 2(me and wife)+2(daughter and son)+ a medium size dog (Cocker spaniel).
Tight fit but i think i will get creative.

My latest addition.

 

[ex m38a1er]

It's time to fill in the blanks ,so i had to make two jerrycans fit under the tub next to the frame.
One each side.
Only jerrycan holder you can purchase on this side of the planet is the original army style.
Bad thing is that it can not hold jerrycan sideways.
So I scratchbuilt something.
Driver's side Jerrycan is going to be for collecting grey water from the sink through a flexible tube.
If there is one thing that i hate is standing water around the trailer.
Co-driver's is going to be an 1957 rusted jerrycan i have lying around that will be turned into
a tool box.
