Looks like a great job to me Sir. I am considering starting one also. You give me hope. I have not MIG welded at all but I have done some oxy/act brazing and cutting with a torch. Did you have any metal fabrication or a welding background? Did you work form a set of plans?

I had no plans I just figured it out as i went . I have been practicing my welding and i know how to weld But i am not a welder . Only thing i would suggest is get a 220 welder . I kick myself for getting the 110 . I will get a 220 next and take the 110 with me on trips For just in case repairs . Start with your axle and wheel Tire combo and go from there . Making the frame really is the easy part . all the little stuff like latches and lights is what takes a little time . I have had fun though with it .

Great to hear. I have a friend with a Hobart 210 and I have a 230V plug in my garage so I should be good on the equipment.

@Firemedic831 Looks great. I just picked up a frame to start with as a base. What did you skin yours with?

Good looking trailer. I see Elsie in the trailer. I see Elsie in the snow at the lake. I see an empty trailer, did you leave Elsie at the lake? Just kidding but I thought I would ask.

Larry in El Paso

After taking it to Line-x to see what they would charge ( stupid amount ) I decided to do it myself so I picked up some Raptor liner . Very happy with how they turned out . I think I am going to go ahead and spray the white also now
