Better shots of the inside.
The plywood panels are the originals.
I just applied 2 coats of natural wood stain.
The plan is to replace them with nice Birch wood eventually.

The folding mattresses are 6'2 which is plenty of room for me.
There is also a reason why there are 2 but you will have to wait to find out.
Did I say they are super comfortable to sleep on? The best I have ever slept on while camping.

Another shot of the hitch:

I forgot to mention I also tinted the windows over the weekend.
I went with 5% which is the darkest.....Limo style.

Looking good... fenders look better de-blinged too!

 

[maddmaxx]

good choice on painting the fenders black!!!!

 

[Mark Harley]

Very nice! I agree with others on the matte black fenders they just look better.
I like the tongue grab handle too.

Looks awesome many .Something I want to do similar . Keep pic coming . Like many people on here the work people do instead of buying something complete .Everyone has different needs and makes them one of a kind. A lot of talent on here.

Looks good!

Awesome. Why leave us hinging with the double mattress? Bunk bed? Couches? Modified fighting octagon?

 

[TACO721]

Finders look great black! It gives it more of a rugged look IMO.(or maybes it's just because i like black over chrome)

Excellent EXACTLY what I have been looking to do for some cross country trekking. With the axle swap could you handle 37" tires...one of the challenges I have to overcome is the truck runs 37"s and I only want to haul one spare...so have to have the trailer riding on the same. Send more pic's of the inside when you make progress! Great job!!

I installed some tie down anchor points today.
I can haul heavy stuff securely now....A stand up jet ski weights 300+ lbs.











I had built bunks that fit in the bed of my truck to carry 2 Jetskies.
When I had the trailer built, I made sure the bunks would fit in so now I can carry the skis inside the trailer.
The bunks will be secured using the anchor points.
