    Under-Bed Water Tanks for 1/4 Ton Trailers

    I am trying to find an old thread that discussed under-bed water tanks for 1/4 ton trailers. There was a post of a CAD drawing for a custom made poly tank designed to fit between the frame crossmembers. I think the poster was from central or northern California. The trailer may have been either...

    1960's "Expedition Trailer"

    While looking through some old photos, I found this one of a Bantam trailer used by a member of the Chuckawalla Jeep Club in the 1960s. Several members of the club used Bantam trailers set up similarly. I remember these from when I was a kid. They were the ultimate setup at the time...
