    New/old trailer build 1966 Apache Raven tent trailer

    Last of the body work complete and final coats of primer applied. It is evident I am no body man; however it does look pretty good for something that is going to be bouncing off of rocks and trees.

    I think so, with the body mounted! I plan on having dual batteries, fridge and any other accessories mounted in the nose. Should distribute the weight well!

    Put up an improvised spray booth and managed to get a couple coats of high build primer laid down. Just needs a little more body work, couple more coats of high build, sand it down with 400 and she'll be ready for paint!!!

    Look into a product called deck restore: I am using it on the underside of my floor, it is a sealer of sorts, formulated for wood vs Bedliner may be a better option for you!

    Frame stripped and ready for paint; hopefully the paint shows up this week; Rust Bullet (black shell) The body shouldnt take me very long at all; plan is to have the body work done, in primer, mounted to the frame and in paint in the next couple weeks!

    The body will be getting painted. Same color as my jeep, silver whith black in the middle.

    Thanks for the props guys; so far I'm liking how it is turning out, couple more things left to do on the frame, finish air lines, run wires, fab up a fold out rear step, paint the frame and install nutsert's. ok more than a couple but its really close and then I can focus on the body.

    Well? I didn't think it would be heavy enough. No real excuse though. Rookie mistake, first trailer I've ever built, learning as I go!
