Wanted to introduce myself and say how much I appreciate this site. I've been dreaming of building a custom toy hauler for my ATVs for years now. I've looked and looked at the different types of commercial built toy haulers and could not find anything that fit my needs or my budget. I finally pulled the trigger on an enclosed trailer last month and have started the process. This site has been an awesome source of information. Ive only scratched the surface as to all the info on here but will be spending a lot of time learning from you guys. I have about 8 days left to prep for a 3 week camping road trip to Wyoming with my kids. I did a similar trip last year but we slept in the back of my truck and had an open utility trailer. I posted a write up of it on expedition portal http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/84323-Tampa-to-Colorado-with-a-truck-homemade-camper-ATVs-and-two-kids
Below is a picture of the new to me 20'X8'X6'6"2010 V nose trailer.
I want to keep track of everything and post lots of pics to hopefully get some feedback and ideas from you guys
This is what Ive done so far
Installed some E track to attach removable bunks
Welded up some folding bunks
took down the paneling and added foam board insulation
My son helping me
We labeled all the panels and trim pieces with tape and made a fancy cheat sheet for each wall so we could figure out how to put it all back together
I got all the insulation done yesterday. Today Im cutting out holes for my window unit, vents, and my 14"X22" vertical sliding windows that just came in the mail yesterday!!! I am really nervous about cutting holes in the trailer. We'll see how it goes. If you guys have any tips on how to do this I sure would appreciate it. the skin is thin sheet metal, studs are 1" thick square tube, and interior ply is 3/8th.
Thanks!!
Brian
