You mean cost?

2300$ for the tent, it is the serie 3, 1800 (72"x96" open, very big) Trailer 750$. About 250$ in hinge, cylinder latch, etc. I had the paint done by someone, i do not have the cost now but he sand blasted, prime with epoxy, and i supplied the finish coat enamel (75$). I expect about 300-400$ for the sandblast and paint and about 60$ of Ezlining spray can, that i applied myself.

The lid, i took some left over steel, so i do not know exact steel cost but i would say 150$. Took me and a employee about 16-20 hours to do the tail gate lid and fit all the latch, hinge, cylinder.

The tires are the old 31" x 16" i used to have on my cruiser. I think they do nicely. I'm going to get a spare rim and a spare support specifically for a M101, some time this week.

So i think if you can get your hand on a good not too expensive M101 you can do something with 4k.

I also bought 2 jacks that i will install in the rear, still have that to do.

Wow, truly a nice rig.

Thanks for the financial breakdown: I'll have to sleep in my 60, as I paid less for it and the Honda together...

Would probably be a bit cheaper south of the border.

Nice trailer / set-up !

Belle job !
Seen your truck at Luc's, this will make a nice addition!
I put my pop-up tent on the roof rack of the FJC and added an awning (12'x12') on the passenger side...very usefull!

Looks really good
I got to get around to working on mine as I've been slacking on just about everything this year . Ive had the tent for over 2 years and so far it made it out of the box

Cool, bunk-bed tents...
