I would eventually like to have a tiny house but I'm thinking for ruffing it sakes I would like to have something similar to a PUFFIN but I might round out the front to make it easier to pull I have 2 vehicles I got an f150 and a little tracker so if I pull with the tracker it has to be light but I'm lucky enough to have a Rec Site just down the road about 15 minutes from me so I wouldn't have to go very far..so my plan is still in my head for now but will eventually come to light when I get time to get my trailer base...I think it would be neat to have a BC camp trip planed when I get my trailer built though it would be nice to meet some other BCers..
Good luck with your trailer

Welcome, I just started mine and am having a ball. Lots of info on here and almost too many options. Hardest part is deciding what you want.

Cheers,
Chris

Looking good! Me, I'm still just using my trailer to haul things around. But I now have the plywood to start the floor, so no more excuses!

Looking forward to following your build.

Welcome to the forum. That is the size of your build going to be? Is that 5’X10’?

Hey there BD,

Looks like like you're really cookin' speed wise. Looks good !

Saw your last post on LED lights. Do a search on Google or ASK.com. I found several pages by typing "12 volt led lighting". You could also try automotive or RV. Ye might have to sift around a bit, but they are out there. Good luck on your quest.

Keep the sawdust flyin',

Yes Princess Auto can be a little dissapointing if you have something specific in mind and asume the will have just what you need or are looking for.
This week they do have a great special on 1000 lb tongue jacks for $19.95. Perfect size for teardrops.
Bought mine on Tuesday the day the sale started.
Will return the $39.95 one I had purchased earlier.
LED's ??????? I to started out with LED'S in mind for everywhere, but founfd them to be lackinf in candle power as interior lights.
Have since gone back to regular automotive bulbs. Cheaper and way more light.....not so unidirectional.
Please visit me again on the British Columbia Thread??
