I got a ton of inspiration for my build on this site so I thought I would share. I really only have a few pics of the build so most of them are of what I have got done to date.
Cut from our club website. calcreppers.com
Took the trailer up a few weeks ago where I found a large tree across the trail right as we got to camp. Lacking better judgment I decided to take the trailer over it. All said and done I damn near broke the tong off the trailer. I took some trail side welding to get it home. The pics are at work so I'll have to add them later...
Fast forward through a few weeks of reconstruction I have it about ready for the trail with a few improvements.
I purchased a fridge freezer some weeks ago and wanted to incorporate it in the new build. This opened a hole can of worms because the new location for the fridge was in the location my batteries, generator and propane were. This meant I would have to rework all systems on the trailer before it would see trail time again..
I built the box for the fridge to include the control panel, faucet, and 110 volt power.
The inverter I got has a nifty little remote panel that turns it on, which is a good thing because you can't access the inverter when the tent is set up.
Through the small door on the side you can adjust the temp on the fridge to sub-zero temps!
This a look inside a panel along side the 30 gallon water tank. What could go wrong with propane water and electricity. :music-smiley-005: You can also get a peak of the battery tender thingy.. With the trailer plugged in I can pack the week before I leave and the food will remain cold. In fact the fridge and tent heater could run for close to a week on battery power.
I'm concidering mounting the water heater here perminantly. As it sits now I store it in the back and hang it where you see it now. It connects to the plumbing you see at the bottom right hand side of the box. Wha-la.. hot and cold water!
The table folds out from inside. The trailer can even be opened up with the tent deployed.
I stored all the cooking/cleaning supplies under the table.
I moved the batteries to the rear of the trailer to reduce the tong weight..
To charge the batteries or assist with winching I ran 4 gage wire through one of these what-cha-m-call-it plugs.
Pic of the control panel.
Push the yellow button to read the battery voltage through a back lit meter.
Random pics...
I moved the propane to the side.
I still need to plumb the propane, and mount the tent heater (propex 2600). I'll follow up with pics of that later.
