Pm'd you. I'm local(ish).

Very cool trailer. Great idea! Is that wrapped aluminum or some other material?

Such an inspiring build!

I'll take it. PM me your paypal address.

Beautiful camper! How tall is the cab on one of these things? What is the height from say, top of frame to ceiling? Obviously, you can't stand up in it. But can you sit upright in it?

Did you guys just but the trim pieces together? I would ideally like to find full length pieces to prevent spliced areas, but if shipping is the killer, I'll have to dig harder to find a local source.

Ray, it's been a long time my friend! I remember on the wire, when my montero got stolen and you personally called to see if there was anything you could do. Your build looks great! Still hope to wheel with you someday. Christian

The issue you'll have is that the long radius bends require a roll bender and specific 1" dies. Not a lot of shops have roll bending equipment. You can try off-road shops, but I suspect you'll have issues depending where you are in Florida. Try some ornamental steel shops too, guys that build...

Thanks silvrzuki! I ended ordering the same water tank and pump that you had recommended. I hope I get to try out that system sometime soon.

Thanks man! First your 3rd Gen was an inspiration to me. Now your trailer!?! What are you going to build next? That way I can start planning. Haha. Any winter wheeling trips coming up? I'd love to bash some snow soon.

Not too much to update this week. I'm only getting an hour or so a night into it after the baby goes to sleep. But I was able to extend the frame out to capture the 60" wide body. I also was able to bend a little tube which was fun to do again. Top view. I haven't put in the back floorbeam...

Man, that's tough to hear Bob. There is so much space up front that a window seemed like a great idea. I was looking at the star gazer window from teardroptrailerparts.com ~44"x9", and I was going to mount it up front. Maybe i'll try to design some type of unobtrusive cover for it while it's...

Thanks Pat! Your build has certainly inspired a lot of the ideas that I have. I really like your front popup window area. I thought that was a great idea. Nice trailer wheels too!

Forgot, I got the tongue end piece and jack tacked on today. My biggest concern with this trailer is keeping is water resistant. I've been doing a ton of research to figure that part out. I'm thinking of lining the bottom with some galavanized sheet before putting a plywood floor in. But...

Now I finally have something to show, so I'm putting together a build thread. I'm fairly new here, I've been lurking A LOT the last few months learning about how the heck I'm going to build a trailer. Bear with me on this build, this one may take a while. Originally, a friend of mine built a...

I was considering doing the same galvanized sheet on my trailer build to protect the underside of the floor. I started to get concerned about rattles going down the road between the sheet and the frame. Did you do anything to isolate the material from eachother? How did you attach the...

Looking really good! I'm thinking of doing a cantilevered suspension myself, to get a more effective shock use, instead of the extreme angle they have to mount to. Couple more questions: How high is the bottom of your frame from the ground at ride height? What radius bender die do you have...

Really liking the build. I'm just getting going on mine, and I'm building the tear drop's cab frame out of 1 inch square tube also. Just ordered my 1 inch square bender die. Assuming you use aluminum to skin the trailer, are you going to screw it into the 1x1? I was thinking of glueing and...

Paypal sent! Thanks.

If it's still available, I'll take it. PM me your paypal info. Thanks!
