Mike I have the whole build progress set of pictures in my aol file,, just need to move them over,,

I want to build a light weight, 8'x56"w x 4' H unit with a minimal galley, basic storage, and a few frills,, shape is still up in the air but will be a modified teardrop. There are a lot of sketches on the drawing board that could work,, now if I can just pick out one,,

design requirments are light, functional, basic, comfortable, dry and a coffee pot and pickle juice despenser,,

here we go again

Hey Chip,
Just wanted to let you know you've got company in SC. I'm planning on building a TD in the near future to pull behind my '48 Dodge, probably a Cubby or similar TD. If you could, email me and let me know how much you're wanting for your trailer. I'm on a limited budget with a newborn so that's why I was planning on building so I could build it as I earned my "allowance".
By the way, I went to school at Clemson.

You're right, that sounds like a basic unit. I think you should design around your pickle juice dispenser.

Consider this...

You could have your wet bar for RC and pickle juice...

And you could have your tap on the side for chasers... :o

Kerry you have to show your Crown/pickle juice membership card before they will special order one with a spout,, not all are eligible or able to acquire a C/PJ card, so they are limiting the quantity of spouts,,

:lol: :twisted: 8)

I think the Little Guy is made by the Little Trailer manufacturing company. You might start by Googling for that! :)

Hey Chip,
Whatcha gonna call your new rig... The Pickle Barrel, perhaps?
Gota good idea for you... Why don't you do a Cafepress store and sell "I got pickled with Chip" shirts or something along those lines?
