I built mine in the driveway ! Got to see a lot of my neighbors serveral checked in frequently to see what was new and different. Had one guy just driving by stop in to " See what in the hell it was "

What do you consider a fair deal for a custom?

Not sure haven't done enough research. Looking for one between $3500-$4500.

Keep checking the for sale section here and craigslist. There are some nice used trailers that you an customize and stay in your price range.

Here is one on Ebay less than 200 miles away:

It's not mine. The design is a little funky however it meets the woody, under three hundred miles and price.

PS, I would still probably go with Rick's first.

Hi folks just lurking right now. I have had my kuffle creek plans for almost 2 years now and can't make myself commit to that first cut.

Anyway, I really like the way the doors of the cabin of the above photos hinge up and out instead of conventional. Anyone else do this?

Didn't mean to hijack.....looks like it would be a nice buy.

Breiman,
Try this thread: http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?t=10926&highlight=gullwing. I could only find some who thought it was a great idea and how they would do it. Oh yeah, welcome aboard.

Very nice trailer however, he'd be a fool to try to pull it with a HD Classic. Gonna end up dead or hurt badly. Even trailer brakes wouldn't help...
