You realize, Carl, that the interior on this is the size of my first apartment in college?

Jeff, sorry I'm late to the party, but I have been a little busy. The Cargo Trailer is looking good! I like the running boards and stabilizers and I think the kitchen turned out very nice. Good work! How are the Tacoma springs working out (if you've been able to try them out)? Oh, and I...

I don't know about better, but my wife designed and made a matching set for our teardop. The construction of it begins on post #105 of our build thread. Imagine our surprise after making the awnings and finding the picture of the VW van setup on the internet! Diggin' your CT conversion!

Long ago I had decided I wouldn't do this thread. Everyone has such nice builds and really good modifications. Tonight, though, I'm changing my mind and actually participate. However, I still don't consider mine to be a build thread, it's more like a longevity thread. I bought this thing in...

Looks like fun to me! Nice scenery in Utah. We spent a week around Vernal in June and had a blast! Thanks for the photos!

Nope, we just figured if we could rebuild a farmhouse and a classic car we could build a new trailer! And I do admit mistakes were made on all three, but you won't know exactly how many! Never done! AAaaah! No, really, never done, not the farmhouse, or the car, or the truck or the...

Before you all leave thinking the trailer is perfection personified, we did make a few mistakes on the build and I just went through and amended posts #228 and 237. If you need a good laugh go back and reread them. Old man brain conveniently forgets stuff that is worth writing about until its...

This is one cool little trailer! I'm curious on how well the Timbren suspension works. I thought of using it (and using a homemade independent airbag setup) before I wimped out and went with leaf springs....... The body shell is beautifully done!

you can't beat the price for a working 33 year old refrigerator even if it is junkcomparedtoareal12voltfridge. you just saved yourself several hundred dollars, and your drinks are still cold. good find!

Well, big is relative. At it's widest point it is no wider than the fender flares on the truck. It's only big because it is 12" taller than a normal 5x10 teardrop due to the basement storage. That extra height makes it look huge though. I'll be checking your thread for pictures of the truly...

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Jeff: I haven't weighed it yet, we were shooting for 2000 lbs, but I think I'm a leeetle over that. I'll let you know as soon as I get it weighed. Papa: Being stickified would be a supreme compliment, but I'll settle for your props! 4x4x4doors:We actually do...

The awnings that we first showed you way back in post #105 turned out well. They do a good job of keeping rain off the running board and door so it's easy to sit in the doorway and put your shoes on in the morning. The awnings and tent poles fold up and store in a duffel bag in the basement...

The rear propane storage locker is mounted on the rear running board nearest the oven The 10lb propane tank fits snugly The hatch struts gave us fits. We made three tries to get them right and we ended up with 2 150lb struts mounted thusly to get the hatch to stay open The basement doors...

I realize I've never actually finished the build thread and left all yall hanging around breathlessly awaiting the end......even though we've been on several trips now. The final product works well, I'm happy to say. Now I will be providing those detail shots I promised so long ago. First: a...

Just cut off the factory clamp (big end of the inner boot is the typical leak point) and replace it with a 4" worm drive clamp. That one clamp normally solves any grease slinging issues with the first gen Tundras......

Does the Ambo really need a sliding fridge? I would think it would be the perfect setup for a front opening fridge like the NorCold we have in the trailer. Mount it along the wall there, add some granite tile for a counter top, and you'll have yourself a real kitchen. .... We really need to...

Looks like a fine beach to be on! I might need to try that one out someday, the truck likes Cape Lookout in NC, but I'd like to see a different beach someday!

Having the trailer and a fullsize (yes it is!) truck is great. Everything required for camping stays in the the trailer, and that leaves tons of room in the truck for additional stuff like hiking gear, kayaking gear, or anything else we may need while exploring away from our basecamp (chainsaw...

You opened it an now Redline will have lots of time to spend considering the topic. After he remounts all his current stock, retests each, then buys new tires to compare to the old sets........:sombrero:

both of our tanks are from plastic-mart
