This past weekend the weather was good and I got some work done on the trailer.
I used a spray can bed liner to do the inside of the bed from cammo to black. I used 4 cans of Rustolum bed liner.
At first I was not happy with the results, " it looked like flat black paint with no texture.
When it dried It looked better and actually has a grit to it. Not bad for $32.00
I bought some Footman loops off ebay to hold down the water tank and cradle.
The pump is bolted to the side of the cradle, rubber feet are mounted underneath and it all sits between the wheel wells.
I ran the plumbing from the tank to the pump then to a brass hose bib I mounted on the outside of the tub.
All you can see is the spout and handle. "a 15' RV water hose will connect it to the hot water heater".
I bought a $2.00 fire extinguisher at a house sale, brought it home gave it a coat of wax and painted the metal frame black.
It got mounted on the drivers side under the cover.
I mounted a first aid box on the front of the trailer for easy access.
It is water proof and just the right size for my family.
A friend sent me a link to a site that sells rubber clamps in all sizes.

I got two clamps to mount a D handle shovel on the wheel tub.
One of the best changes I did was to replace the cover rope with bungee cord. I got hooks for the tailgate and it is so much easier
to remove the cover, Now I unhook the rear hooks and pull the bungee off the side catches.
Now I am focused on designing the kitchen for the rear, It will slide out over the tailgate.
The green Coleman cooler I am useing is from the early 80's and is new.
I found it at my parents house, They bought it at Montgomery Wards and never used. it. I plan on painting it and lettering it something cool.
I have a 7 x 7 foot aluminum deck in the works to hold my tent, It will be mounted on a tilt hinge so I can still access the bed.
