Mike,
To be truthful, I was trying to think of a way to build cheap, fast and light
.
However, I think I need to concentrate on cheap and light. SOOO, I guess I need to start working my plans with the 1x2 stick frame. 1/4" luan outside, 1 3/4" polystyrene, then 1/8" inside or 1/4" inside??
I'm planning on a pretty bare bones trailer, 2 lights inside, a fantastic fan, an automotive AM/FM cassette built in with a portable cd player with adaptor, 12 volt fan and 12 volt bed heater. I guess 3 12 volt outlets in the cabin total. I might throw in my 12 volt 5" b&w TV, maybe. Depends on if the daughter is going with me.
In the galley, 2 12 volt outlets, 1 flourescent light, 1 Optima deep cycle (the big one), one 5 gallon water jug, my Coleman 2 burner propane stove, and various and sundry kitchen gear, and spices.
The way fuel prices are going up, I figure the lighter the better, but I still want the big battery.
