Terry
The wheels came from Henderson wheel and rim in Salt Lake City. They are just a standard aluminum trailer rim. However my doors I ordered from Little Guy.

In looking for plywood for the interior walls and ceiling, most of the stuff I find is mdf core. Is this what everyone is using or do I need to keep looking for a plywood core?

1/8 inch plywood. It comes in several forms and you may have to take what you can get -- some places even seem to have a bit of trouble getting it. Luan is one form (which is actually kind of a cheap plywood), plywood is another (usually birch). I would try to use one of those if I were building out of wood. MDF is medium density fiberboard. It would probably work and I'm sure someone has used it before (nearly everything under the sun has been tried!).

Here are a few more photos.
Interior walls installed and the spars are in permanant.

I like how you had your frame planned out with all the stuff I thought about AFTER the fact! The hitch out back, spare underneath in the middle and the fenders already installed. Excellent!

Wow what did you use for the roof? Looks like 1/4".... What were your roof spar dimensions?

by **jkidd6339** » Sun Jun 07, 2009 10:18 am

Yes, Thomas somtime the question is, Ok how am I going to do this with one person and that's where the fun begins. Kdog the roof is 1/4" and the spars are 3/4" X 1-1/2" Except the 2 by the vent there tripled and where the seams are there doubled.

The trailer is looking great.

Looks like a lot of thought has gone into it.

Is it your own design or a kit?
