Etoimos, the trailer weighs approximately 170 pounds. I agree that it's insane. There's no logical reason for this absurd little trailer to exist lol...
Thanks for all the positive feedback billiebob. Balls or loose screws? ********...
So if I'm being honest, the thin and utterly useless tin chain is there for aesthetics lol...
The bike is 150cc but is only 4.5hp! A modern 150cc is double that @ 9hp. It does have a manual 4 speed transmission so...
I just added a link in the description box to my friend Lucy's channel. She's got a tour of the new trailer posted but will have MANY specific videos of our full build process in the coming weeks.
Kerry - I've been on their website a few times...great organization! Not a member, but maybe now's the time...
Thanks! The blue one is a 1962 Vespa 150 (all original) and the red one is a 2005 Vespa PX150...both 2-stroke w manual transmissions..."shifty smokers" as they're called lol.
I converted my late-60's Alaskan truck camper to a travel trailer back in 2016. I've been using it regularly for over two years now and LOVE it. Thought I'd share the build in case anyone else was thinking about converting their truck camper to a travel trailer.
Here's the short of it:
Bought...
Bought a mid-60's Alaskan 8ft NCO a month ago and been diligently working on it.
Overall in fantastic condition will everything original. Bought it in bone stock condition from a local RV dealer (who bought it from the original owner).
Before I bought it, someone stole the hydro-flame...
