So my brother has finally decided to build a trailer of his own but wants my help with it all. Me having all the tools and space to actually accomplish building one being the biggest reason why. I've agreed of coarse as I love a challenge especially a trailer build one. He has decided to go with the traditional teardrop platform of side doors and rear galley but will be keeping to a more square look rather than a curved one. There will be an angle here and there to make it a bit less box looking though.

So we grabbed a 4x8 trailer and stripped her down. Wire wheeled off any surface rust, treated it with rust nutrealizer, then painted her up. Built a storage box base and added the sleep platform to the top. Next will be some swing down doors for the bottom storage areas, Front wall, side walls, and roof complete with bracing and such. Then we will tackle the back gate and galley area. I'll try and add as many pics as I can as we go so wish us luck.
 
Wow, that sucker's gonna be beefy !
Figure you'll have it 'camp-able' for the Farm Gathering ?
Love to see it there, however far along you get.

Hey Brian
They registered last night! :applause:
Now to get the lead out and get it sleep ready in the next two months?? :thinking:
Always good to have a target date, it helps to motivate any build.
Good Luck Kirk & Kelly
Brian
 
Oh it will be ready by June 1st we have a fishing trip planned :) She's gunna see many forest service dirt roads so she needs to be beefy ;)
 
Mine just got an upgrade in tire size to handle the FSR's. My brothers will be getting the same before were done.
 
if you still have some of the aluminum I sold you at last years gathering, make sure you put a piece or two on it for the "garbage bag" holders I have made more of for this year. Of course, with the tools Brian has there, I'm sure we could add a bit here or there for a bag or two. See you there. Ted Hoefer, Camano Island, Wash.
 
Looking forward to seeing you there. Hey if you can will you please bring another one of those with you. My brother will certainly buy one from you cause he ain't getting mine lol.
 
will be bringing enough of them for everyone who wants one or two. Made just a "few" of them over the winter. See you in a month or so. Take care T.Hoefer (PS now I just have to remember what those Canadian bill "colors" -or is it colours? - are and mean between now and than.)
 
The new build looks great.
You guys are making wonderful progress.
First hay cut was baled yesterday, and left the field this afternoon before the much needed rain arrived.
Good Roads

Lol Ted most of our smaller bills are turning into metal. One dollar and two dollar coins with the new five dollar coin soon to be produced.

Thanks Brian I've been pushing him to get er dun for June 1st but sadly don't think thats happening so we will fish outta mine but he is completely determined to have it done for the farm gathering.
 
Sounds great!
Keep pushing him. :twisted:
We have officially doubled in size from last year, and there are 5 or 6 more that we have not confirmed yet?? :roll:
Good roads
