UAV-TT (off-road tent trailer) build

[silvrzuki77]

Driver side is 80% done!!!!

Does anyone have ideas to bridge the gap between body and fender???

That looks awesome...... Looks like caulk and paint will fill the small gap nicely

Would stick on door edge moulding from Autozone work to fill that gap. Bushwacker fender flares also come with a rubber trim that would look good as a filler.

 

[silvrzuki77]

Not sure in either accounts, door trim would be easy to get and cheap. I will look into the trim on the bushwacker

Just did a "google" and summit racing has the bushwacker branded fender flare trim for $27 for 30'.

 

[silvrzuki77]

Sweet! Thanks! I will look that up.

 

[silvrzuki77]

Any idea what it looks like close up?
All the have on google images is a coiled up view

I did try really hard scrolling through google images on bushwacker fender trim and couldnt get past this picture for some reason....

Subscribed!! Looks great!!:coffeedrink:

If my aging brain remembers correctly the edging that came with my pocket flares for my cherokee had a quarter round shape with a flat section that sandwiched between flare and fender .

 

[screwball48]

Yup I was wrong. Here is a picture that may help.

Hmmm that might work? I was hoping for your prior thought. A rubber gasket would look the best and fill well.

Tomorrow going to silicone and place floor trim on the interior. Thinking of painting the fender inside a brown color to somewhat match? Versus building a box around it like prior? Guess Ill paint and see how horrible it looks.

Been working on the tent trailer. Spent 4 hours of my life at the dmv yesterday getting this trailer and my m116a3 utility trailer registered. Any ways painted the exposed fender a left of tan we had from doing our house.

I had this little cabinet in the front of the trailer that really didn't have much space in it, but the floor seemed hollow.

So out it went!

That's a lot of extra space!!!!
Under the rear dinette seat I had a maybe a 18" wide x 20" long and 12" deep space pretty much a waste.

On the inside of the bench is the inverter/fuse panel, the exterior had almost 30' of cable!!!! Going to cut that down to 15'- 20'.
Here is the new proposed interior

Hopefully going to order my axle, metal, and parts soon.

Painted fender looks good. Lots of wasted space in those cubbies indeed. I am eying up my Coachman Clipper 108ST now that I have been watching this. Hmmm.....

 

[silvrzuki77]

The coachmans are nice units! If i didnt have some many minions I would have stayed with the teardrop! It will be nice to have a table/seating/sleeping area. I still intend to take it on all the trails i have done in the past. Soo it should take a beating
