My build of Benroy Style Trailer

[KCStudly]

Is that the basic Marinco pass thru for your power inlet, or is it the 15A battery charger style with the pronged socket connection built in?

I was looking at both of these and am wondering what's your impression on it? (BTW, I kind of decided against the charger connection because I don't think it has the capacity for expansion, should I want to add more features down the road.)

Yes sir its the Marinco pass thru power inlet...I just wanted straight plug in w/o charger style. Cheers

Not a lot done today, did pass the 12V Power through the checker plate panel, woohoo.........I need to design and build a tongue box. Also did get some yard work done too.

Bad accident in the garage, twister went by and messed things up. (just kidding) my bad. Anyhoo I work out of a single car garage for my build.So every day I work on the trailer, the Jeep goes out and the trailer rolls into position. At night the trailer is parked 90 degrees from build position to parked for the night. As I also park my 2 dr.Jeep inside, so with the 2 parked inside gives me a total of 6inches to spare between walls, the door and jeep and trailer. Yup tight it is but works for now. I don't have a spot to park the trailer permanently, but plans are to knock out the opposite wall of the garage door and put a utility door to pass through. That's another job AFTER the build. So here is a pic as to how tight it can be when the weather does not co-operate lol...real bad lol...

LOL, I can relate Dan except my tear wont fit in the garage while I'm working on it. It's sitting tucked up against the back of the house, wrapped very well in tarps. As for the garage, it's BUSY..... 2.5 car garage totally packed with shelving, tools, tools and more tools. I build custom mailbox posts as a part time gig to pay for my toys (teardrop, golf cart, ets etc...) and cornhole boards. With the wood shop set up, I'm busting at the seams in the garage. One thing about your build, once it's dried in, it's easier to store outside if needed. It's looking great though!

[AlgoDan]

Thanks 91khundog. Dang I cant imagine building outside, you rely on the weather so much. I guess you build where you can and get it done. Cheers.

Ok I have been finishing up a few things like paint, trim, drilling holes for the coupler and fishing wire for the trailer road lights... Galley door finally mounted for good, just need to install license plate bracket and LED license plate lights.......

So when do the wheels go on? You've definitely done a very fast job of building the body.

[AlgoDan]

Actually they are the only things I haven't purchased yet, likely pick them up this week. When they do go on, I will have to park my trailer elsewhere. There is no parking available once it ready for the road, as we have 4 cars in the household at the moment.

Just found this thread while searching for trim alternatives. I LOVE it! I never would have thought to do this myself! Thanks for posting!

[AlgoDan]

Thanks, glad you like it...I too looked at alternative trim and came up with this, will be final fitting the trim in a few days and will post final pics.

Ok today did final paint in the interior and went and picked up the tires. They are Goodyear Marathons 205/75R14 with rims, which will be painted black.

[AlgoDan]

Alright all interior painting done, just need to put a few trim pieces in. Now the windows and door can be installed, likely in the next few days.

[AlgoDan]

Ok today setting the suspension location and clearances for fender size...

[AlgoDan]

Update just hanging and measuring suspension, when I am sure the drilling will start.
