2005 homebuilt 4x8 "Cubby" - SOLD!!!!

Postby IndyCubby » Fri Apr 13, 2007 5:17 pm

I hate to see it go, but I think it is time. (I'm selling my home and buying a new one and could really use funds right now!)

For Sale is my beloved 4x8 Teardrop camper. It is based on the Kuffel Creek Cubby design. I started it on July 4, 2005 and finished it the following October.

Here are some details/highlights:

-Built on Harbor Freight 2000# frame with 12" 5-lug wheels.
-Frame painted black, wheels painted silver.
-LED trailer side marker and rear marker lighting.
-Aluminum clad exterior. Door on each side.
-Spare tire included (mounted under cabin).
-6" memory foam mattress (Walmart Mattress) cut to size.
-Surf/woodie themed sheets and curtains.
-Interior Oak faced cabinets with shelving.
-8" LCD monitor with AM/FM/CD/DVD/TV tuner head unit.
-2 woofer/ 2 midrange interior speakers.
-Simple galley with lower (shallow) cabinet. The bed was built extra long (I am 6'3" and can stretch out). Cabinet holds small items, fuse box, and A/C flex hose. Hose can be pulled through an opening in the bottom of the trailer and hooks to a portable A/C unit to cool the cabin.
-5000 btu A/C unit included!!
-12v DC power system with maintained battery.
- Lights in galley, one general lighting lamp in cabin, and one overhead reading spotlight.
-Two exterior "porch lights". One on each side of trailer.
-Switch on fuse box to change from battery source to small inverter if desired. One AC power outlet on galley counter.
-Roof vent with fan.
-Tongue mounted "diamond plate" tool box to house battery, straps, gas tanks, tarps, etc.

The trailer has only been used a handful of times and tows very well. Longest trip was from Indiana to Missouri non-stop and problem free.

Asking price: $4000.

Pickup in Indianapolis, Indiana or delivery within a reasonable distance.

Available for viewing by request.

It is currently hibernating in my garage, but here are some photos from my gallery. I will try to get some updated photos this weekend.

If you would like to see photos of anything in particular or up close, please let me know. Feel free to PM for info!

Wheels are now painted bright silver, not white as shown in these photos.

Where the two wires are hanging in the picture above, there is now a reading spotlight fixture.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I would like to build another someday if this one sells. Having the funds to put towards a house is a higher priority right now, though. :o

Rich,

Gorgeous T! You should put it on Ebay if you haven't already done that...good luck and I hope you find a good new home!

Thanks Jim.

I think that I may stick it on ebay if nobody here is interested within a few days.

As for the new home...I already found it. It's directly across the street from my current home. ....and on top of that, the guy two houses down is buying my current home. We're playing musical houses!

"Anyone? Bueller? Anyone? Bueller?....."

I'd love to sell this to someone on the forum....I know it would go to someone who would take care of it!

There are still lots of things you can do personalize it and make it your own. How about some of those nice looking hotrod fenders that Toypusher has been selling? That would look hot on this trailer!!

I'm ready to answer any questions you have about the trailer and provide any photos you would like to see.

Let's make a deal!!! 8)

I'm set to close on my house deal the third week of May.....NEED CASH! :shock:

O.K....I pulled the trailer out of hibernation today and cleaned her up a bit. I took about 30 pictures. The album is located here:

http://s155.photobucket.com/albums/s316/IndyCubby/

You can see some of the things I have added since the pictures in the first post above. These things include the A/C setup, 110v outlet in the galley, power inverter, map light, silver wheels, etc.

Ready to answer any questions you have. Will deliver anywhere within a 5 hr drive (give or take...) for free.

Let's make a deal!
:D

Chris certainly did a beautiful job on this teardrop !!! I saw him and the rig at Knob Noster last summer.

Chris, you didn't mention it but isn't the bed about 6.5 foot long or so? I remember you said you lengthened it because your height.

I hate to see you selling it but with summer coming, and after the move maybe the next one will be even better !!!

Good luck !!! but I hope to see you camping again soon !
Some things are way over my head !! ...but it keeps me looking UP!

Thanks guys! ;)

Yes, the bed is extra long. I'm 6'3" and can sprawl out.

I have one very interested party and another couple semi-interested ones. So, I don't think it will be longs now!
