Hey guys, Fresno invited me over from the HML -- spoke highly of the people over here and there experience with Expedition Trailer Builds!
On to the good stuff! I'm acquiring an M1102 trailer, my plans are to switch everything out to 12v electrical, sand blast it and paint it the same color as my HUMMER. Then the big project; build either a permanent or drop-in type aluminum box/shelter/body to go in the back to use as a tool storage area, simple shelter on the inside, storage, and electronics "post" in the sense, of having the wireless internet, electrical connections, satellite tv, weatherproof LED tv, etc.
Either way.. here are some 3D renderings of what I'm thinking.. still in the midst of trying to decide if it's cheaper for me to build it myself, or just have a good aluminum / fabrication company fabricate it; as I don't currently have a welder or any metal working tools.
I'm more of a "wood" guy -- however, I'm not too sure if that would be a good idea to build the frame out of wood?
Also -- while on the topic; if I do decide to try and build the whole thing myself, does anyone know a good place to acquire those storage compartment doors with that style latch/opening handle, as well as the rear door? I've looked on McMaster-Carr and couldn't find anything except for square-only access doors.
