The (failed) Moonshine Camper (2 Viewers)

[cruisermatt]

nice job on that jack system and all the associated parts. Well planned and executed.

 

[fourtrax]

that's more like a condo instead of a motel.

 

[jynx]

But Moonshine Condo just doesn't have the same ring to it

Hi I was looking for this on AirBnB and couldn't find it, can you please tell to me how I can reserve some nights?

Frickin' awesome work, Johnny!

Yeah, so 2020 came and went, and the camper died. Water got in during storage, and rot set in again. Decided I wasn't happy with how the should-have-been-from-scratch build was turning out, and we're now moving in a new direction.

Will hopefully have the new setup this month. If not, who knows what will happen. I sold my deck over trailer to put towards the new setup, and I'll keep this thread up to date.

 

[JohnVee]

Ugh.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Ugh.

I know. All that time and money wasted.

Sunken cost fallacy be damned. I'm cutting my losses and moving on.

Dang, sorry to hear but glad to see there's a replacement in the works... Good Luck!!

[angerhater]

[GLTHFJ60]

May I introduce the new moonshine motel, en route home today from the PO in Daytona Beach.

 

[fourtrax]

Awesome.
hows the re-gear doing?

 

[AJR]

This is going to be awesome.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Awesome.
hows the re-gear doing?

So far 1.5mpg improvement unloaded mixed driving. Most importantly, it's way way more comfortable to drive at 70. 9 hours yesterday didn't feel like much at all.

Drive safe amigo.

But where does the 60 go?
Inside with rollers?

Update. Best recorded mpg going 72mph on flat 95 was 15.2mpg. I can hardly believe it, but I'm stoked.

Drive safe amigo.

Inside on the big boy tires. Trailer is bigger than the pics make it seem. 28' overall length, but the ramp door opening is ~92" wide by ~85" high. Plenty of room for her to fit in.

I see AC!
