May 16th 2021 Update: Cargo trailer conversion is road ready. Here is a recent shot from our maiden voyage.
I'm about two months into this already but picked up a 2004 5x8 Continental Cargo trailer. This is where I am aiming to post pictures of my progress for anyone who is interested to follow. I know there are lots of knowledgeable people on here and I could likely use some help.
Trailer is roughly 5 feet tall and has torsion axles. I got a pretty good deal on it but it is pretty rough around the edges. The goal is to have a basecamp we can setup for camping trips, a comfortable place to sleep, hang out in the rain. Full size queen (just about) and something the Cherokee can tow. It's roughly 800lbs empty and I am aiming to keep it under 2000lbs but we will see how it goes.
Ill try and get you all caught up, here is where we started:
Picked this up Jan 20th 2021
Cleaned it up, not too bad.
