I found a trailer on CL for free. I towed it home on 2 flat tires. It was only a couple of blocks. Now for the build. The thing is gutted except for a couple of garage shelfs and a platform to sleep on. I will pull those out and start fresh. I have already aquired a small bathroom sink and cabinet. I will get photoes up asap. I really like the wood strip designs I see hear so I think that will be my pattern. Even a hard wood floor. :) I am going to use foot pumps for water to the sinks just to save plumbing I will build some sort of shower on the outside later using a coleman water heater to heat the water. The ideas are-a-flowing. Up dates to follow :D

Alloffroad,

Must have pics! No passes given to those from my hometown. Show us the glorious decrepitude, -ous, -ness of this free trailer. It has been over 12 hours and no pics!

It's not that we're impatient, we're as patient as one pig who waits for another at a trough full of corn.

:D

IH, IH Cap'n. But alass, The trailer is not in me presence me boy. Me shall post the pictures upon our next meet....}:>) :thinking:

O.K. The trailer is at my folks place, 200 miles away. I was visiting them a few weekends ago and riding the dirt bike when I stumbles across this diamond. I tower it to there house with my truck and parked it out back with the promise of towing it home the next visit. I am planning a trip in about 2 weeks. Patiance is a virtue.

Call the folks up and ask them to tell you the mesurements and then you got 2 wks start on what you will start with.

You probably will need new wheels and or bearings. I got one and ground off all the old paint drove my neighbors crazy. up a dawn grinding away they never said it to my face but I could see it in there faces :x !!

a new hitch and safty chains worth a trip to you nearest RV or auto or boat store, Kmart, wally mart, etc. and the net there are great lists of net sites on this forum.
