Thanks for the new pics. You're doing a great job on your conversion. I love the wood walls!

Are you planning on holding tanks for your water system?

Cherry wood is soooh fine! :thumbsup:

Congrats on re-use of materials! Re-use beats recycling. (Especially when you can just run it though a planer and make it perfect and beautiful again.) Recycling in this case would be to use it for firewood. ARGH!

I refuse to buy new steel. I only use re-claimed. (The easiest to get is bed frame angle iron, which works great for beefing up re-claimed camp trailer chassis.) I even found re-claimed 2" channel steel for my current build.
My goal...

Nice workmanship on all the wood work; it comes together nicely.

Questions; I perused your online pics.

Nice locking door handle; I'v been meaning to locate one of those; where did you find that and was it hard to install?

Dito on the water heater (I'm envious); how does it work?

whats your total trailer weight like with all the woodwork and appliances installed? I think I added 300 lbs; which surprised me.

Do you have a bed in there?

Cheers D

The Deepest spot in Lake Superior, the largest of the Great Lakes is 1,333 feet or about 222 fathoms. This profound depth could easily contain the entire 1,250' Empire State Building, even with a 50-foot-tall King Kong perched atop.

Great looking rig. I am considering doing the same but considered a tandem axle, any benefits for a tandem over a single axle. I know the tandem is heavier and costs more. Just curious.....
