Interested to see what you build, that's a pretty neat trailer to start with. Looks well built.

That pass through is a sweet setup. My heater did not like that ducting tho and kept causing it to set an overheat fault and shut down. After I changed it I had no issues, just something to be aware of. How does that awning hold up in the rain? I really want to get one of the OVS 180 awnings but...

Figured i would update this. We used the trailer a lot this summer and it worked great. Really could use some overhead storage for food and clothes maybe but it's not too bad. Love the simplicity of the trailer. I finally got the 2nd bunk bed built how I wanted. Put the fridge on slides and...

How have you verified it's installation? Have you done any kind of alignment checks or anything? I'm just not seeing how loading it up would cause edge wear to the tires. It not saying it's not the wrong stuff but there may be more going on.

I don't have any experience with the timbren stuff first hand but based on how it looks, to cause that severe of camber wear it would have to be installed incorrectly. To me that suspension should cycle straight up and down so loaded or not should have no effect on alignment. Or someone correct...

Water system is all done. I was initially following a write up for the plumbing but it used so many fittings and was way over priced for what it was. Combined with the faucet I was going to use it was just out of control. So returned almost everything, got a different faucet and then realized...

Made counter from redwood planks, got the sink installed but nothing plumbed in yet. Redid the vent for the heater from some 3in exhaust tubing and made a bracket to the floor. Much more durable now and won't get destroyed from stuff being around it. And then took it to the mountains...

Pretty cool to see how it's all made. I'm super jealous of your giant workspace!

I'm in pretty the same boat as you. I looked at some toy haulers and the quality of build is just awful, so I'm going the cargo trailer toy hauler route. Really it seems like the cargo trailers aren't perfect but still built wayyyy better than anything marketed as an RV. There are some really...

Yeah, Toyotas and jeeps in Colorado go for a lot. The used car market in general is crazy these days. As long as you know what you're buying CarMax doesn't seem too bad. I only say it because I work across the street from CarMax and work on a lot of their cars and have seen some interesting stuff.

Idk where you are but where I am CarMax is notorious for buying decent appearing fleet vehicles from the the east coast that are ungodly rusty underneath. Maybe this bothers you, maybe not...but I'd give it a good check over before you take anything home from them.

I won't lie, I dig it in just tan and natural aluminum...where did you get the sticker/wrap for the door? It looks cool, kinda makes me want something similar.

Solar panels installed and up and running. Took forever to get the feet installed to the roof but the extrusion made the rest super easy. Bathroom cabinet installed And last I've been working on the kitchen area which has been consuming so much time, trying to get everything fit tight and be...

Is there anything wrong with the springs? If not you could easily remove a few leafs to soften it up. Those old military leafs are pretty stout. Plus the longer ones tend to ride a little better.

Got a little done this week. Changed the ducting on the heater and added an intake for the heater. Now it will run without throwing an overheat code. It was actually the duct I had run inside, it was too constricting I guess. Sat out in the trailer while it was snowing and stayed pretty nice...

More pics... This will double a bench seat I had a better pic of the bed folded but it won't load. Took out the plan vent and installed a max fan, also had to install all the lighting. Welded some tabs and a little extra support to the frame. Added a toolbox to the front to hold a diesel...

Well figured I would post this, give me a chance to ask some other questions, ideas etc. we had a little 24ft class c RV which was fun for the small size but we hated being stuck everywhere or having to pack it up Everytime. Had it's moments but layout was terrible....it was a learning...

Sendcutsend is awesome! What cad program do you use? I used one of their basic designs last time but it would be nice to use them for more intricate work. Looks a like a fun build.

You have a cool build going so far. I too found the 2x2s at Lowe's are pretty useless. Maybe 1 in 10 is useable. I've been building mine with 2x3s and while a little heavier they seem way better. What are you using for wall paneling? I've been debating leaving the wood and trying to sand and...
