I posted this in general discussions before I found out that there was a place for build diaries- Sorry
Having built several boats and other projects I know how hard it is to weatherproof seams. That is why I am starting out with a weather proof top taken off of an old conversion van. It has some nice curves and should look spiffy when the package all comes together. Originally I had planned to take 2 pick up toppers and glass them together to make a longer and tapered build-. I posted a request on Craigslist for broken or damaged toppers and in 4 days I was offered 8 toppers for free- all I had to do was go pick them up. I have 2 in my back yard right now. I Changed my plans and I am going to use those toppers for scrap pieces on my build.
Total spent to date
Fiberglass topper- 50.00 local pick and pay
axle- 0 ( donated by one of my friends)
frame metal -78.00
wood for floor 34.00- Home Depot
wood for framing- free ( taken from crated a/c units at past job
Lights- 32.00
wiring- free ( left over from Dune Buggy fab
switches- 6.00 off ebay
Inverter- Donated by my father
Stove and sink- free taken from a scrapper pop up camper
The adventure begins
I am calling the trailer RERUN because it is mostly made up of salvaged pieces and parts giving them a new purpose..
Once I figure out how to upload pictures I will post them
