Well, I'm committed (or maybe should be) - got my trailer

OK, so it's looks like I am in this for the long haul. Sorry.

Considering my limited budget I would say that I am fully committed, having purchased a HF trailer. I now am the proud owner of 2 heavy boxes (which were in much nicer shape than some I have seen on this forum). I decided on the 1175# capacity 4 X 8 foldable with 12" wheels. Special ordered in red. Nice deal too. On sale for $219.00 but with the 20% off coupon including tax it was a sweet $187.35. With a budget of about $500 that helps a lot.

It will be rolling under a 5 X 8 lightweight teardrop with no galley, a bunk and sandwhiched everything.

Looking forward to meeting with you folks on a regular basis. Thanks for offering the intestinal fortitude to press on.

EZ

It really hit me that I was not backing out of this when I stared putting the trailer together. Good luck with your build and keep us updated.

BTW - The HF coupon is now 10% off your entire purchase. Getting my list together. :twisted:

Congrats EZ. We all should be committed. :? I am not sure what I'm going to do now that I have only to register and insure my van. The handbrake(wife) has informed me that I have to catch up on the jobs that need doing around here b4 I do anything else in the shed. Haven't even told her about the ideas I have for the next one :shock: Have no idea how to break it to her :twisted:
Have fun and keep us posted.
Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:

Victor Star, I saw in another post that you also just picked up a HF trailer. Good luck to you as well. Yes, now we have to do this. I am looking forward to this project. After some of the stuff I have built this should be fairly easy. Big parts in small numbers. Won't be a show TD but functional. Most of the campers on this site are much nicer than what I expect to turn out. Maybe I will be surprised.

I'm in exactly the same boat. :lol: Let me know how you break it to her. If you live through it maybe I'll try it. :worship:

Congrats EZ, gonna finish my trailer this week. I'v found that this is what you want to spend. My advice is research,spend wisely and shop for bargains. Since I started gettin' mine together I've had $50-$75 stuff gave to me. Good luck

Congrats, EZ! That's my model.

You gonna modify her like most of us have done that have used the Cubby plans?

(By the way--how's your back? Mine STILL hurts since May, and I carried the pieces from the truck one by one.)
