Last we met I showed you pictures of the 40 QT Doorman Freezer that didn't work out of the box more than 2 minutes. So here's the comparison of the Edgestar 43 QT replacement to the smaller Doorman. Edgestar on the left and Doorman on the right! Next picture shows the left pot and pans drawer...

How about building a rear spare tire carrier using a hub, bearings and spindle to mount the tire on? Then put the axle & hub on a crank down trailer jack. Like you'd find used in a 5th wheel or commercial trailer. (I have one on my 30 foot flatbed for the heavy tongue that is 4 inches...

WOW! Subscribed. I can relate to the rear hatch warping issues. That's why my rear hatch is flat with corners instead of curves. Plus it will match the rear profile of my Isuzu Rodeo I'll be towing it with. Nice work!

I have a question: You say you want to haul 10 to 15 mountain bikes, and want to be able to sleep inside. Are you wanting to sleep 10 to 15 people inside when stopped also? If so you are going to need a Large Cargo Trailer! My 17' cargo trailer can transport 15 bicycles no problem. But we can...

I still find it hard to believe that trailer builders aren't building camper trailers with steering axles. Especially those single axle tear drop style trailers intended for off road use. It can be built lightweight with nothing more complicated than using a steerable front straight axle and a...

One of the main reasons I haven't installed the fancy smancy counter top. Been using the counter top for a tool and screw box table while I cut, shave, drill and sand everything on my Craftsman Work Mate Bench right next to the trailer. I'm having fun as long as the wife doesn't see the peanut...

Bought a 12 volt dc/ 120 volt ac 40 quart freezer that was on sale. Apparently it was the last one they had. (Dorman 40 qt.) Plugged it in and it started to cool, so I thought great. And turned it off. Got busy doing some building around it's dimensions and built a 500 lb capacity slide out...

Hey Welcome. Another Texan doing a build, yea! I too Kayak! I'm more of a white water kayak-er, but I have used it in the saltwater in the Florida Keys, in Puget Sound and off Myrtle Beach. Annnnnnd the Gulf! I carry my boat on top of my very lifted Rodeo. I have a system for loading mine...

Yea is been tough. Actually I'm just posting up pictures of the slow progress that i made this summer on it. Got this other project working now that some much needed parts got made.

In theory I could sleep one person on the floor on a Thermarest. But two bodies side by side is not going to be possible. I've been kicking around several ideas for lifting the roof hatch electrically, but the weight penality may NIX that idea. My build has two large semi tall fenders for the...

Spent last evening talking to a wooden boat building buddy of mine about how best to seal this camper and make it not only water proof, but also strong. He has some good advice. Unfortunately there was too much information to post up here. So I'll give you some cliff notes as I go along with...

So once the back kitchen wall was up adding the framing for the cabinets went up quick. And since the sink was already sitting in the shop I put it where I thought it needed to go. The rest of the plumbing for the shower and ability to drain dictated the position of the sink. Made a heck of a...

Retook some shots to see if I could flip them over.

Here you can compare the new spare tire position. Looks like it's going to work well. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to rotate the picture on this Forum? I tried rotating the original in my computer then downloading it again and got the same sideways picture. Sometimes it doesn't make...

Well Dang It! I had a big long write up done and tried to post it and it disappeared. So here's a short version. Ended up adding 1.5 inches of spacer to the spare tire mount to move the tire out closer to the outer wall. You can see the tire insets in too far and one of the reasons I moved it...

Saw a Trailer like that a guy on Pirate 4x4 built. I liked it, so well I saved the pictures of it. Mainly because I have 1st Gen Trooper body I could use for the same thing. I have some interior pictures of it if you're interested. He put a fold out sink and fuel transfer pump where his...

I wanted to French in the spare tire in the front corner to eliminate getting it drug off against a tree. Since this trailer is being made for tight spaces between trees or rocks. And didn't want to build a swing out carrier on the rear because I didn't want to the added weight on the back of...

Walls up! The walls are 1/8th inch outdoor plywood and the floor is 3/8th. Not heavy and the main frame is yellow pine. It sounds like it will be too light weight of wood and heavy enough grade. But since all the corners will be glued in with 3M 8114 bonding agent and the bottom side sprayed...

Well, seeing as how sometimes I will want to crab and sometimes want to track, I don't see a need to get more complicated than it already is. With the center latching handle down it will steer remotely to the center point and the latch will fall in place and shut off the power to the ram...

Post #8 Paragraph 7 Oh, and it works too! So it's built and tested, not in the works.
