Hot off the press!!!
This trailer was recently completed and we had a great maiden voyage to OBX. I am a self employed professional cabinet maker and just completed this one. Ready to build the next.
Over $3k and hundreds of hours invested. This trailer is built with top quality cabinet grade materials.
Front view, AC cover in place. Crank out windows (both left & right sides are identical). Front is covered with high impact solid rubber for protection from road wear. 3/4" pine frame, interior & exterior are 1/4" birch veneer ply, all trim is solid birch. Finished with 6 coats Benjamin Moore's marine spar varnish.

Image

Rear view. Galley locks with key, "Custom Camper" chrome emblem above license plate light. We caught the beginning of Hurricane Ophelia in the Outer Banks, NC and it did not leak a single drop. Roof and A/C cover are "Topgun" marine duck canvas. Roof has 1/2" padding.
Image

Galley is extremely functional and there is room for everything. Sliding cabinet doors with finger holes on both top and bottom cabinets. Large locking utility drawer with removable utensil tray. Fold up/down table and dorm size refrig. Two double outlets and plenty of work space.
Image

Interior front has his & hers storage cabinets/dressers with shelf (lots of room), 13" TV w/built-in DVD and 5000 btu AC. Hi/Low light under TV shelf.
Image

Interior rear has shelf with rail to store shade awning. Crank out windows are located near your face so you can see out and get some fresh air. 2 Ceiling lights are swiveling eyeballs on a dimmer. Mattress is 5" deep custom memory foam 56 1/2" wide X 76" long and fit queen size linens perfectly. Extremely comfortable!
Image

Galley is lit with two night lights and a battery operated 4" fluorescent on hatch.
Oh, by the way, did I mention is has front & rear blue ground effect lights? Not only do they look cool but they are for safety too.

Make me an offer

John,

It looks absolutely beautiful.

One question, does it have a battery or is everything but the galley florescent light on shore power?

thanks,

I checked out the slumbercoach model you have and yes, there is a resembelance. I didn't use any plans, just my own imagination and a lot of time in this forum and the hall of fame.

That is a great model, where do you find these and what is the scale?
:thumbsup:

The scale is 1:43. It's a Brooklin model... Andrew found it first... you can do a search for "Brooklin Wesley Slumbercoach" and you'll find it... here a link for example:

I'm currently working on a virtual model of the slumbercoach. I got Andrew to trace the profile for me, and I've been extruding ever since! :lol:

John,

I reseached the Top Gun Duck Canvas you used for a roof, and it appears to be some pretty tough stuff. I know truckers use cloth straps to hold down heavy loads rather than chain or metal because pound for pound the material is stronger.

I'm curious...is there a wood or metal roof under the canvas? If not, why did you choose the canvas instead of metal or wood?

Thanks,

-Sarge

Stephen,

The windows were salvaged from a very, very old trailer of unknown make/model/year. I am always on the look out for more of the same.
