    A tiny trailer build.

    Oh yes, not sure whether bungee or lip on the shelf. I think the upper part of the cabinet to the right of the door may be a ‘normal’ height bookshelf too. Thanks, that desk is a special item. I like it a lot.

    A tiny trailer build.

    I took advantage of a good sunny day to get the door casing glued in place. It was 80 degrees in the trailer when I finished and still 75 a couple of hours later. Glue is good to go. It is 40 something outside, with about 6” of snow on the ground. Figured I needed to get this bit done. And a...

    A tiny trailer build.

    Thank you so much! I’m really enjoying it. I got a little done today, the door casing now is full depth and will hold a bookshelf over the door when complete. I hope to work on attaching it tomorrow. It is quite cold here at night so I must figure out how to keep the glue and adhesive warm until...

    A tiny trailer build.

    The door works now. I’m working on the inserts for the window spaces (fiberglass) that remain from cutting the door opening. I have a heater connected inside the trailer now, but need to do some work outside and it is just too cold and snowing. I’ll get there...

    A tiny trailer build.

    Work continues. A lot of work. Here it is rolling as a test. It has since been covered with a shelter so I can work on it this winter. I hope to finish the entry door frame tomorrow. A 1920 REO door is curved in all directions and a bear to mount, but I am winning. The door window will...

    Camper

    This looks very interesting. I have a couple of questions... Are you planning on using this as a blind to shoot from? If so, is that legal where you are? Also, consider the sound... I once (ONLY once) shot a rifle out the back of a van. We had parked, set up targets and the weather was bad...

    Paint color to avoid heat

    I agree with the lighter colors. I live in the high desert and know how hot dark colored things get. A black/steel pliers or hammer will get too hot to pick up while a chrome one won’t. Anyway, lighter colors for me anyway. I prefer dirt colored rigs... the dust here is tan colored. I hope to...

    A tiny trailer build.

    I have been working on this. The floor is complete and installed and the front wall is built. 2 more walls to build and I can install the topper. I removed the fenders... they weighed 8.6 pounds each! I’ll make something lighter to replace them. I also bought a Kreg pocket hole jig to...

    A tiny trailer build.

    I have managed to collect some parts from a trailer being salvaged: lights, cargo doors, a window and the protective awning for the front window. I also got the old plywood stripped off the trailer and found a tongue box. The box is aluminum. Those wide bars that supported the sailboat...

    A tiny trailer build.

    I hope to build a tiny trailer. Don’t laugh please, this is a low budget project and I’m old and SLOW. So far, I found a boat trailer for 50 bucks (and it came with a workable Hobie Cat 16!) and my neighbor just gave me a fiberglass topper. I want this thing to be light enough to pull behind my...
