Trailer Build (1 Viewer)

[jamesurq]

Doing some more stuff today since I can't go on the trip and I took the day off anyway.

Mounted the propane tank

That's a cool little enclosure

 

[jamesurq]

So my list of to do's is incredibly small after today:

2 external lights need to be wired and installed
2 D batteries to run the hot water heater starter
Finish work on cabinets
Cut and install windows
Install solar panels.

Today I did a lot....
Installed the external water tank that I had cut a hole in to install the shower. I did this to avoid losing any internal storage space.

Which I slapped to the side of the trailer with some flat steel leftover bits and bolts.

Here it is deployed...

It all tucks away in that little door and locks.

Pretty happy with the water pressure with the pump!

Got the heater hooked up and vent sealed. Forgot to get a chimney pic.

Then finally I got one shelf put in place so I can store the stove. I'll be making another one a little bit heigher and finishing the front with cabinet doors.

The answer for your A/C may lie here:

Zero Breeze - The World’s Coolest Portable Air Conditioner

Not cheap, and not shipping just yet, but looks promising to me.

Really love how you're setting this up.

What do you have planned for a shower enclosure?

 

[jamesurq]

Gonna put a hot water heater drain pan on the ground. Don't see a big need for much else. It's pretty impossible to see in the enclosure when the door is in place.

So closer camping - at Philipot Dam in VA.
Getting loaded up.

And also you can see the little chimney thingy. Which stayed attached at 65mph with a strong cross breeze. Woohoo!

 

[jamesurq]

And here it is mostly set up. Obviously missing the door.

Dude, what's with taking the heep parking space?

 

[jamesurq]

I tried so hard to be sure that wasn't in the pic. I limped and had a massive speech impediment. It was epic. . Yay kidding.....

I didn't book it. I showed up. I feel like the best spots were taken months ago. And I did the 'please ma'am I have to drag a kayak to the water by myself' routine and got the disabled spot. Nice spot though. For future reference spot 15 is the nicest one I've seen water view wise.

This is my view when I walk a few steps.

Philpott Lake is absolutely awesome, I fish there a lot.

The setup looks really sweet James

So I sticker bombed the inside of the trailer door. Don't judge me. It's fun.

Thanks to Jason for the help

And ya know. Fishing!
