Sadly, we find that we are not using our trailer and would love to see it find a good home. It is in great condition. You can see all the construction photos in our gallery and there are many Q&A in the newbies forum. look for our posts.
We've got $5000 in construction and outfitting costs (not including loving labor) in it. Reasonable offers considered.

If anyone is interested in a little larger but lightweight trailer (at an excellent price and in excellent condition) our Widget is still for sale.
We had planned to take it to Minden Nebraska for the camp out but Pamela has had emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix and can not travel for a while.
You can check out my postings for more info on this website.

Wow I can't believe this wasn't snapped up, that is a really nice TTT.

A fine piece of craftsmanship and one of the very first trailers I studied closely after finding T&TTT.

Very nice I hope you find a good home for it.

Hi,

My husband and I just saw your posting and we were wondering if the home-built camping trailer was still available. If so, would it be possible to come take a look? We are located in Boulder.

Thanks in advance for your time.
