I just noticed the Build Journal Section I am going to Create a thread there and Move this stuff there and create a link from here to there.

Here's the New thread in the correct section

Hope to see you there!

Tried using your link but it opens a reply window. :(

I have had 2 trailers using a similar frame for just the same purpose as you are working on. Here is a photo of the last one.
94609
I had the dividing wall vertically down the middle, one side was a kitchen with pull out counter top, the other barn doors that opened up for supplies. I mounted a 22" wire shelf that was hinged in the back and locked into gate latches in the front, with 2 cables to allow the front to drop about 8". I would just drop the shelf, put the stuff on it then snap it up into place. Seemed to hold really well. Tables, chairs and Coleman kitchen were held upright by two straps with cam buckles that were attached to the center piece. The kitchen side has a set of shelves and a retractable extension cord that exited through the back outlet covers. A cube refrig mounted under the microwave, barely visible on the right. I also added a V nose to the front that had multiple shelves, held the 20# propane tank, and had a pegboard mounted on the inside of the door to hold supplies which clipped in. I had a set of side rails for my S-10 that I shortened and then mounted on the top to hold some military shipping containers that I had picked up, one for utilities (power & water) and the other for dry goods (food).

Sold it and bought a 6x10 as our needs grew (translation- I wanted to try building a new playground.) :roll:

Hey pmowers,

I fixed the link Here it is again http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=56691
I would love to see more pics of yours if you have any. I like the idea for the shelf I might go that route too. I decided to go Galley in the back because I love the tear Drop Galley. I thought about splitting the front section for about 3 minutes then decided I only want one door. I also thought to make a Shelf across the whole front section then thought 'What if I need more space for tall stuff and decided on one shel on the solid wall. I think the wire shelf idea is great tho i can lift it up for even more storage of tall cra.... er stuff.

Thank you for viewing and commenting.

-Paul
