Prepping for fall/winter adventure season. Sadly, I am not a craftsman. However, the shelf unit needed to be more like a cabinet. Second problem... I only needed a little bit of wood and I wanted to use what I have on hand. The finish sucks, admittedly, but the function is there and there is...

Overkill. Yes. 2x3 is a good dimension. 1/8 works. Mine is all 1/8 except the lounge which is 3x3x3/16. It is much larger and has held up perfectly for over 3 years with no signs of failure.

Please don't. The fewer the better. Europe and the US are no brainers. Heck, most borders are just a sign by the road. I've pulled my trailer all over NA and have been all over Europe and have seen the "Caravans" everwhere. Central America, South America, Africa and Asia are far more...

Have you done it? I am having trouble finding actual humans that have done things like Mexico/Honduras or Colombia/Peru.

Making future plans. We have gone from the US to Canada and Mexico with ours, but who has done border crossings and travel with their trailer outside of North America? What was your experience? Trouble? Revelations?

Since this trailer is also my mobile office, power is the PRIMARY concern. The Redarc Manager 30 taking care of charging and working properly to prioritize inputs means that I can be off grid for as long as the food and water hold out and still give my clients great service.

This week's camp sites.

...and memorial day. This was a pressure test of all systems because there was damage to my daughter's camper water system. I had to support 5 people for 4 days and myself for an extra 2 days. Previous to this trip, the trailer hadn't seen shore power in 10 days. Still hasn't. So, I ran the...

The latest journey is underway. Stops near McCall, Galena Summit, and Driggs ID plus the Flaming Gorge and now it is in storage for a whopping 4 days in Colorado Springs before Camping in the Rockies and...uh...more? It needs a toilet paper roll holder. With running the fridge, freezer...

Ceiling is 6'2" and I am a towering 5'8". So, no slouching. The materials and sources are in the first few pages of the thread. 2mm GRP with gelcoat on one side. Marine epoxy and 40lb hard foam insulation. The blue kind from a local industrial supply place. The huge roll of GRP came...

So, I boxed in the AC and cut a hole in the side of the trailer for the condenser intake. Pics are mirro images because my rear facing camera is broken on my camera. The AC is primarily for the dog so we can leave him in the trailer while we go to lunch in town when it is hot. Therefore, it HAS...

Not yet. I keep saying I will as a last step, but there is no last step...

Some truth... I have been using my magic chef 4.4 cubic foot fridge in my home built trailer 100% of the time for almost 4 years. The inverter is always on. 12v DC system. Including the load from the inverter, it pulls 5.5 to 6.5 amps on the DC side while running. I added a child lock from...

10 series. The coffee machine works great but it is BIG. My Nespresso mini finally KTB after 4 years of off road abuse. The L'OR also makes full cups of ☕️ so it stays.

The freezer is in. Inside galley/bathroom/etc. is basically finished. Unless, of course, you ask my wife.

Kitchen is coming along. Job situation caused us to not to our big Mexico trip this year so I took some time for some upgrades. Today I laid out the drinking water system using the same type of jug I use for Grey water with a little USB pump. I also tied down the coffee machine, velcroed in the...

What thickness and what is the weight per square foot?

I made DIY composite panels with mitered edges. I used aluminum angle on the outside and 80/20 on the inside. The inside framing provides the base for all of the inside structure. So, it essentially is an internal roll cage. Anywhere that the framing is connected to the walls is 3M VHB tape. In...

A little snow camping

More progress today. Wifey wanted me to hide the toilet when it isn't in use. So, I built the under cabinet shelf and the shelf for the future freezer then I built a sliding door for the 💩er. I will make some fill pa els once the plumbing is done. Waiting on brown Santa to bring me my weather...
