Alright. I've told you all that I "had the bug." Guess it's time to prove it. Check out my latest construction pics here.

It will have 3/4" sides with an insulated floor and roof.

Let me know what y'all think! :)

When I built mine on a h/f 1800 trailer, I lucked out. After not giving it any thought, the door did not hit the fender when I opened it...

Those using the same trailer might want to keep this in mind....

They are rather large. They are 3'x3'. I made them that way for my father (who is slightly larger than myself). Of course, with it only being 4' wide, I will be packing a tent for our father/son trips. I also wanted to accomodate 15"'x24" windows from 90 Degrees. This should allow for them.

Good point. I chose, however, not to lower the trailer to begin with. I will be towing with a S-10 and realized that lowering it would give me some "unfavorable" towing characteristics. The fender ends about 4" below the door. It is the "flat-toped" fender and will provide for a place to put shoes (etc.) at night.

"Look Ma! I am somebody!" That's awesome, Mike. I can't wait to finally meet some your guys out at the gatherings!

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm gonna have this baby done by Christmas.
