Yesterday i finially got to bring our T/d (Costa Lotta-The reason there is so much of the month left at the end of the Money!! $> ), up from the barn to the part of the farm where the house is. Cleaned it up some and installed the bed,heater,dvd player-hooked up the battery charger to the 12 volt system and ran electric to everything else and Me and Momma camped out in 32 degree weather :thumbsup: :applause: :shake hands: . Had the windows cracked and slept great-after i let SARGE(our black cat) out, He didn't know how to take the camper. :lol: He did have to EXPLORE all shelves and cabinets. :D I could have slept better but Momma was SNORING!!!! :thumbsup: Still not thru BUT I was so PROUD of our Costa Lotta!!!! 8) Later by the fire---John T. 8) Only 8 months-4 months too COLD to work in the barn/4 months of actual build time and about $2200 invested :cry: :applause: :lol: 8)

hey pvc bike guy,
you need to contact Andrew on this site(look at vintage plans above) for his site or one of his messages on a thread. He has a pdf file for making the two sides of a T/D out of one sheet of plywood for making a small motorcycle trailer. Pm him with your e-mail address and he'll send you the plan. :thumbsup: Also Rolly(?) on this site has what he calls a "Half Stacker", which is a small t/d that you can tilt on its end to make room in your garage for other things. :thumbsup: He should be able to help you out too, and he's in so-cal.
Hey Prem,
I'm kind of a Emotional kind of guy!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
