scratch build Trailer for my diesel Jeep Cj5

You will need the total amount spent and keep receipts for Pa DOT when you title and register it.
"Pa wants to make sure they got their tax dollars"

I believe you will need an advanced inspection too.

Good luck!

So Mark, you are from Pa, where do you usually take your trailer camping? we have some state forest and lots of logging roads and so forth that I plan on exploring. We also like going to the Allegany nation forest. I get jealous of people out west that have millions of acres they can explore....and it makes me wonder where other people like me go in Pennsylvania??????? thanks! -MF

I picked up this beauty for $200. its an 83 Coleman Sedona. My plan is to use several things off of it but most importantly the................Title. I removed the sink, all water lines, fittings fresh water hook-up etc., It has a nice 3 burner Coleman stove, And I also removed some goodies to try and sell. Such as the furnace, inverter. It also came with a brand new 110v fan, A nice little table an awesome broom and a bunch of odds and ends that I can put to good use. My dog didn't like it very much! haha. I was going to use the water tank too but it had an area of dry rot that broke when I removed it. The whole tank is brittle. I feel good about this purchase! Still not sure If I'm going to scrap the frame or try to sell it to recoup some of my $200.Oh yeah, it also came with a good propane tank with reg. and it is full. I was running the stove with it. Now back the expo trailer!!!!!!!

Todays progress,

I mounted one 3500# drop leg jack on the tongue and two more on the back. The rear stabilizers will be mounted in the bed during transport. Then I got some submersible LED tail lights and wiring harness. I also picked up paint and more welding wire......but now my welder is acting up. The gas shield keeps coming out when I release the trigger. So now I need to get that figures out or this project is going to come to a grinding halt.

I know I need to fix the cow snot welds the PO left on the tailgate hinges> need to fix them anyhow because they operate about as smooth as.......well not smooth at all.

 

[Mark Harley]

I like the tail light guards you made.

cant wait to see more progress on this

when I first started reading this, I was like wow everyones trying to sell something

will you shorten up the tongue at all ?

 

[MILLENIUM FALCON]

LET THERE BE PAINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I finished most of the welding today and sprayed some primer and "kahki". I wanted to match the jeep. but at $22 a gallon and they have it in a spray can for touchup.....I couldn't resist. So far so good. Now I need to find some tires and paint my wheels. I will paint all 3 jacks to match. For now I am leaving the tongue length as is. I have a big tool box I will be mounting in front of the bed and I like the idea of being able to haul the canoes with ease. in_neto/DSC_0584_zpsc3d49f00.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Don't mean to derail your awesome build thread, but I'm trying to figure out how title and register a trailer in PA. The one I'm picking up is a Military Surplus that only has a bill of sale. Did you have any issues registering your built trailer?
