Hello from Michigan

Postby J.Heyboer » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:42 am

Hello Everyone,

I just started my build a few weeks ago. I am converting 6' x 12' pop-up camper to a teardropish trailer.

Thanks in advance, as I am sure I will need tons of advice.

Anyone from Michigan out there?

Hi J Welcome
There are a lot of nice folks in your area. I am sure they will chime in. I am in Michigan a lot the last few years. Have a son going to Michigan Un. in Ann Arbor. As a mater of fact, headed there this weekend to get him. He is done for the year. Only one more to go.
You will really enjoy this site! A lot of good folks and good info too.

Erv

P.S. We all need a lot of pics as you go. :thumbsup:

Welcome from Wisconsin! I'm positive I've seen posts by others who did or are doing the same thing. If you use the "Search" link up above, you might be able to track down some good threads on that. Best wishes!!

Hi John,
I'm from Michigan but the other side of the state. I also built my trailer from a popup. Depending on the strength of the donor chassis, be careful with your weight. I wasn't and had tongue strength issues. I'm not trying to put you off from using it, I put a 2000# body on a frame designed for half that. Not a good plan. Have fun.

Jim
I need a new Avatar. I'd put my dog up there but she doesn't look much like me. She's the skinny one.
