Idacamper Custom Flatbed

[IdaSHO]

And a small update I did prior to our last trip...

The front over-cab rack had some wobble as well.
So a simple X-brace using cable and turnbuckles were used to quiet it down.
The front eyes are also used to attack the camper to the bed for additional strength.

An update, and a seriously overdue project for this bed.
Especially since we are due for a firewood run from the property.

Side racks.

Tool less, locates and locks in with pins on the front, straddles rear rack and secures with snap pins.
Thin-wall steel tubing and .090 aliminum. Acid#8 primed and Raptor-lined. Less than 40# each.

Very thoughtful and well done!

Happy thanksgiving.

Spent much of the morning cutting and loading some easy access dead-fall tamaracs on the family property
I like to haul log-loads, using crane as much as possible to make it quick.
Its a crane I built years ago, that folds up and stows on the front of the trailer.

This is what roughly 3300lbs (1-cord) of tamarac looks like on the truck
The trailer hauled about nearly the same (just a 3500lb axle)

All in, we rolled across the scales at 15,150
Truck weighs about 7500lbs with people, dogs and gear
trailer is about 1200lbs

So about 6500lbs of tamarac firewood
