The Moonshine Motel

[GLTHFJ60]

Pushed late last night and early this morning to get the goose area buttoned up. Valspar oil based floor paint to protect the plywood, dock ladder to get into the goose, and some trim so junk doesn't fall into the spots between the floor and the siding.

This is about as done as it's going to be for the shakedown trip this weekend.

You’ll wish you had more E-track.

I was thinking about putting some in the floor, but ultimately decided against it.

Has someone already suggested:

• Johnny's AirBnB/RVShare? He delivers!
• ONSC Transitional housing?
• Moonshine Mobile Homes, LLC?

Can we take turns parking our trucks inside?

The #ferd weighs a hair over 9000# with me in it, which means the trailer weighs almost exactly 8000# empty and dry. Damn! That's about 2000# lighter than I expected. Tons of room for activities.

Until then...better save your Gatorade bottles.

You didn't notice that one small square of hinged floor?

Thursday early afternoon, before I loaded the cruiser, a valve stem blew out in my new wheels just sitting in the driveway.As it turns out, the 3760# rated wheels came with valve stems rated for only 40 or 60psi, so they blew out when sitting at 80psi.

So, in the pouring rain, in the driveway (fortunately), I jacked it up and took all 5 wheels and tires to get new metal valve stems. @AJR was nearby, so he came over to lend a hand. Thanks again bro!!

After getting the right valve stems in, we put his f150 up in to see how it looked, lol.

After that, it was finally time to load. Everything worked out well. The trailer tows awesome, but I do need to fix the brakes.

I need lights too. Brought a 20v shop light, but I need more to make it conducive to having around it at night.

Overall, I'm stoked AF. This thing works mint.

On the punchlist for GSMTR is getting the trailer brakes working, then getting the AC wired in. Dove into the brakes. Wonder why they weren't working well

Knocked this power center together as well. From the left:
- manual transfer switch
- 240v 50a RV style breaker box (no converter or anything)
- 12v fuse box
- genny control panel

Not super space efficient on the right side, but for some scrap and a first attempt, I'm pretty stoked at how this turned out.

Headroom for getting up to the goose is not an issue, and there's plenty of room for wiring behind.

Seeing the bed in there gives some scale...that's a great set up. You've certainly got some envious followers in this thread.

That's a king size bed too, like 15" tall. There's a lot of room up there.

Damn man. If Erica and I ever have a falling out, can I come live in your trailer?
