Been lurking for awhile, and love all sorts of builds, but have a special place in my heart for homebuilt, backyard specials, I love them all!!
I started off as a carpenter, and had my own contracting business for 22 years, now I head up a Facilities Dept. at a college outside of NYC, and reside in Dutchess Co, NY.
My first love has always been camping. I started with my parants at a very young age, in a small camper known as a "Little Champ"...and I have seen one on here awhile back. We use to frequent PA state parks like Worlds End and Promised Land, and many smaller private campgrounds throughout the camping season. I grew up in the Williamsport, Pa area before moving to NY. I also enjoy bowhunting and flyfishing, but any fishing will do!
I did the large camper/dually truck thing for awhile, and it was nice, but not near as satisfying as building a smaller, lighter platform. The smaller trailers certainly are much more fun to tow! It's amazing how much wallop you can pack in 12' long..
So I got bit by the homemade trailer bug, and this my second build, my first was sold to gentleman from Quebec.
I look forward to meeting many fellow campers and builders.
