Will get some action shots this weekend. Taking it up to Three Creeks Lake to be eaten alive by mosquitoes and catch some trout

Awesome Josh!

Need to post one behind the Wagoneer.
Will you be lifting the trailer at all?
Maybe some agressive tires too?

 

[Josh Hixon]

Thank you Mark. Haha, I thought about it but it is already really tall. Maybe some bigger tires so that I don't need the 2" drop hitch. We regularly pull it with my wife's Explorer. So it hasn't seen much "off road" time. Pulled it for about 5 miles on a torn up gravel road last summer with the Jeep. Woo probably drag it home with the Jeep on Sunday because she had to work...

Love old campers. You can usually bring them back a lot cheaper then a new one. Would love to see inside. Awesome job

Only have two pictures on my phone.

Made a lip for the shelf. Traced, routered them out, then burned them for a little more detail. Unfortunately when I stained it that detail disappeared

Sweet vintage trailer Josh! I'm from Central Oregon also and I'm working on a '77 Coleman Concord pop up. I really dig resto-modding vintage stuff. I also love living in this area because there are so many old campers around waiting for a new life of camping!

Have fun up at Three Creeks... I'll be working on my pup this weekend!

Cheers, Carlos.

I was afraid you gave up on the PUP. Glad you're still going at it

Howdy Thom! I really dig how your pop up came out. I've been watching your progress. Nice work!

I just picked up my pop up from a local fab shop and I'm now working on rebuilding it finally...

Nice! I like the orange.

I am laying in the plans for 12v pump, fresh water system. Anyone have any experience with reliability/durability in roto mold and high end plastic RV tanks in an off road trailer?

I have heard good things about the rv tanks but am not sure what size I'm fitting to my bantam trailer. 15-20 gallons would be ideal for 2-3 days off the grid with a family of four but that's heavy and needs to be really well secured. Also should be balanced over the axle which isn't an ideal use of cargo space.

Sorry I can't offer any advice on the durability of the tanks but am interested to see what others say, and what you come up with.
