Modifications and repairs to a 2010 Forest River Take-it-EZ 14 foot mini toy hauler.
Nope, I didn't build it. Been thinking for years about building a CTC/TH. Never seemed to have the cash and time to both buy and build one. Also couldn't nail down exactly what I wanted to build. Then this thing popped on my Facebook Marketplace feed. Aside from smaller size it is most of what I wanted in a CTC build and ready to camp, so I brought it home.
My tiny travel trailer might be a little bigger, but it needs some work to bring it up to par. I'm going to be drawing a lot of inspriration from your builds in my modifications, repairs and upgrades. Also wanted to upload pictures somewhere because there's not much to be found about these units out there on the internet. Hopefully my thread will be allowed, even though it isn;t a build in the strictist sense of the word. First a quick overview of the camper.
As stated above it's a 2010 Forest River Take-It-Ez 14 foot. Interior space is about 10' long, a little over 6' wide, and about 5.5' high. Been meaning to take actual measurements for the past week, but never think about it when I'm out there with a tape measure. Also not the best at taking pictures so most of the ones in this post are from the listing photos, and it wasn't completely cleaned out yet. |
Exterior... Included a shot with POs Harley loaded to give a visual size reference. Don't own a Harley, so those decals will be going, but taking a motorcycle or ATV is why I wanted a toyhauler build.
Like many teardrop and tiny trailer builds this one has an exterior kitchen instead of one inside. Unlike many of those it's located under the hatch on the front, instead of in the back. The trailer tongue is removable to shorten the unit for parking in a garage, and bashing your shins when using the galley. For some reason instead of being hard connected, the stove uses that hose and a quick connect to the propane bottle that is in a side hatch. Not too sure about that arrangement.
Included in the sale was a awning/tent room for the galley and side. I'm sure I'll use it some, need to see how much work it takes to setup and take down. I intend to do some quick and simple tarps and tent poles for the front sides and back. Something that can be thrown up and taken down quick and easy by one person.
