Hey Tommy B,
I assume that I am Dave from Montana, so I'll tell ya. What you are working on now looks VERY familiar to me. I'm currently attacking the black tank/toilet/shower issue myself. I took a little different approach, but hopefully we'll end up at the same place. I purchased the tank pre-made that fit all my requirements, without the holes for vent and 3" pipe, and got the appropriate grommets but have to cut the holes myself. At this point trailer has been insulated and lots of mock ups, measuring, and adjustments have been made. Progress has been slow due to weather, but we are used to that with 8 months of winter in Montana. This week is usually the last frost date so LOTS to do. Garden is tilled, but not planted. Sunday should be the end of frost danger, I hope. I wont get anything else done to trailer till next week as the first Rodeo of the year begins Thursday. I don't know if you have ever heard of the "Cowboy Mardi Gras" or as its officially known,
"The World Famous Bucking Horse Sale", but we host it in our town and it is all consuming for a week or so. If you enjoy rodeo and the lifestyle and folks associated with it, and you think you have the stamina for a five day drunken sh** show, then come on up. It will probably be the best time you've ever had. Long story short, I will be celebrating the 22nd anniversary of the night I met my beautiful bride. Came up from New Mexico for the Rodeo and NEVER WENT BACK! Smartest thing I ever did.
Anyways, I have most everything I need to complete the trailer, and the weather and time are coming. So, progress should pick up as soon as the hangover and bruises are healed up. I'll start getttin my act together on the build journal, I promise.
I can see your making progress and "doin the math" that's required. For me, it's not a race. But I am aiming for July 20 something. The Beartooth Motorcycle Rally and Ironhorse Rodeo is that weekend in Red Lodge, Mt. and I would like début it there before Sturgis in August. The Ironhorse is a Rodeo on motorcycles. Barrel racing, Low Speed Race, Bite the Pickle, etc. all in the dirt on Harleys at the rodeo grounds. Again, too much fun WILL be had. There is also 2 full days of Poker Runs and rally riding through some of the most beautiful parts of God's Country including Beartooth Pass at over 11,000 ft and the Chief Joseph Highway from Cody Wyoming to Cooke City, MT. And don't forget the nightlife. 'Nuff said.
I'll check on you soon, if I survive another Buckin' Horse weekend. Actually, I'm getting pretty good at it.
