The water tank is a 15 gallon polyethylene spot sprayer. I got it at Harbor Freight for pretty cheap (for a water storage.) It also came with a 12v SHURflo pump.

That's a great idea! I'm going to look into that for my trailer!The water tank is a 15 gallon polyethylene spot sprayer. I got it at Harbor Freight for pretty cheap (for a water storage.) It also came with a 12v SHURflo pump.

I swear I saw you driving Northbound on I-15 around Centerville, UT. just after 4:00 pm Sunday. I knew I had seen that trailer and 80 here in the Trailer section. For the few seconds I saw you, the trailer and rig looked great! My wife thought I was nuts! "I know that cruiser and trailer!!! I've seen it on MUD." She was like......![]()
this build has inspired me to build my first trailer...I've pretty much plagiarized your design, but instead of welding the main cargo "box" area to the trailer, mine is going to bolt down so I can remove it (after emptying my camping crap) and use the trailer as a utility trailer to haul taller objects.
(I'm trying to think of a way, for later down the road, to make the top open up for a motorcycle or something...if anyone has ideas)
I too am on a timeline. My girlfriend and I are driving to North Carolina to see her family and I'd like to take the trailer with all my camping gear...I'm trying to get it complete to the point that you did for your first trip. Which brings me to my question: How did you secure the temporary plywood sides to the cargo "box" frame? I'm trying to decide how I will do this without holes all over the outside of my trailer. Maybe just drive some self tapping screws from the inside, thru the plywood & into the inside of the frame???
Let me know if you have a better solution, more pics, or ideas on how you would've done things different.
Thanks, and compliments on your simple yet well executed build!![]()
Sorry, I just saw this post. I know this is a bit too late, but what you said above is exactly what I did - self tapping screws from the inside and then silicone everything up so water stays out.
