Turns out I found the solution to an ever longer standing problem. I love camping and fishing and the barest minimum was OK by me. The wife, well she wanted a decent bed to sleep in and more than thin pieces of canvass protecting her at night. I only knew of standies as the "other" option but do not have a TV big enough to tow it nor the money for one.
Great was my joy when she OKed to idea of a TTTT! So I started reading as much as I could about the subject. Now I am totally confused and disconbobulated
with all the options, ideas and possibilities. Being from the decimal part of the globe where the seasons are swapped around does not help much either!
I have training and experience in working with wood, steel, alu, copper, plumbing, locks, keys, gas but LPG not propane, electricity, electronics, lighting, computers, diesel and petrol engines and generators, a wide range of adhesives and paints and a smattering of other things. Working at a hardware store does not hurt either!
That certainly opens avenues to acquiring perfectly good shop soiled, "expired", demo, half used, end-of-line or even sponsored products. To bad we don't do trailers or plywood!
This is a warning that I will be asking many questions while deciding "what is enough" in the various aspects of TTTT design an building. At the same time I will help where I can with the info I have available.
Let there be many teardrops of joy out there!
