Where are you located? For the "kitchen" you could probably just use a standard carry on trailer with the boxes sitting on the side wall rails.

Jess I am trying to get caught up to you.

For lube use wax, it works, wont make a big mess, and its cheap

Boy I need to start making frames, I think I could do a 5x8 frame with a 2 k spring axle in a weekend for about 6-700 bucks and sell it for 1200.

okay it finally has a name, if I keep it. first its a play off the fact that I joked and called it a flat pack trailer kit, and once or twice an ikea trailer. The name is timber line, in swedish thats tradgrans ( missing accents ) its pronounced like tad grounce, well sorta. The graffic I will...

I forgot, the wiring for the exterior, interior, and kitchen lights as well as the tail lights and rear hatch lift motors is also all ran. My exterior lights are small 100 lumen yellow leds lights, and the kitchen light is a 220 lumen white led light with its own switch. I also plan on having...

Okay A couple of pics just to keep the thread alive and moving. First the corners that are complete are getting tapered and rounded for the fiberglass tape and eventual filling and smoothing. The other pics are the steel framing for the pop top. As you can sort of see the frame is 1x1.5 tube...

living in, weekending traveling. You need a large teardrop.

And its basically a big box, with a roof that lifts to give head room and room on the bunk.

I see your pics, if your not doing a steel frame you really need some bracing on the step down, there will be some serious torque on that joint.

I saw a really great design in a commercial camper, its much larger than a tear drop and if build with the right methods I can see it being under 3k. If I can build my 12x5.5 under 2k lbs a 15 footer ( body length ) could be under 3k. Its the lifestyles recon r2. It also would fit in the wind...

Did the lug nuts your ordered work?

As for the welder you could go flux core instead of mig, no gas for it. Its kind of like a cross between mig and stick, flux like stick, point and squirt like mig with the downsides of both...lol as for bigger tires, the best thing is getting in to tires that will last, ie real car tires. The...

All I can say thats awesome getting the girls to build it. I love it. Buy a mig welder, its pretty much point and squire when it comes to welding.

you can by actuators that have a servo feedback and you can buy a controller that will independently run each one at the same speed so it wont bind up. Of course that adds cost and complexity

Okay filling in a few blanks. they are not glued yet, just being cut to fit. Having only about 1.5 hours before dark kinds sucks thou.

ok in the span of 3 hours we went from just a floor to 4 walls and half a bed platform. All the rivets are in, most joints are caulked, all the sheet metal angles on inside corners are bonded and riveted it. Windows are cut in, the door is not cut out all the way so the wall stays square. The...

Maryland

Okay the frame is legally tagged and inspected. First mva kind of sucked, had to make an appointment to show pics and pay tax on all the materials that where used. Its an excise tax, not sales tax so its another 6%, then pay for title and vin plate, then pay for tags. After going there they...

Nothing to add, I am just jealous so a free bump
