Please excuse my limited knowledge in this area, but you are saying with this app and almost any wifi camera I can buy, that is all I need to make this work. That means to me, if the camera and my smartphone are on, I use the app and I can view these type images?

That's awesome! I may try that for a backup camera, or even to just keep on while driving to see who's behind me!

Yes, exactly...once installed and configured.

Although any IP addressable WiFi camera should work, tinyCam website has an extensive list of official compatible cameras and any additional functionality such as lights, audio, etc.. supported here:

For instance, I'm using IP Webcam to turn my Android based phone into a full time video camera. The supported list says "Android: IP Webcam (mjpeg, 2-w audio, motion detection, sensors, auto focus, led)"

Thanks.

That camera should work on the generic camera setting. Sticking with the supported list has its advantages. Since you are a Racer...if you have a GoPro 3 or 4 then you could use that. tinyCam supports a bunch of cameras streaming at once so you can monitor several cameras at once...backup, inside, and outside.

I splurged a whole $8 to buy the "Pro" versions of the apps but you can download the advertising supported apps with most functionality for free to test.

Oh I forgot about the gopro! Gives me an excuse to buy the 3 or 4 haha. I've had the Hero 2 for 3 summers now and I have to tape the SD card and wedge it in otherwise it stops recording haha.

Wheel Mounts

First a picture from Daytona CCS during my Amateur season



With racers and many track guys a spare set of wheel (or 2) is nice to have. Mounted rain tires or simply having the luxury of a fresh dry set mounted are requirements for chasing titles. Here's a pic of my old trailer, notice the wheels mounted on the wall. These mounts are awesome for protecting your wheels and in particular the brake disks mounted on the fronts. I also like that they are removable when you want or need the space. Note the tie down straps in the picture above are not structural...they simply helped keep those tires in place.



So here's how I do it using 1/2"W x 6" to 8" galvanized pipe, 1/2" galvanized pipe flange, galvanized pipe cap, a few large fender washers 3/4ths hole, some leftover plywood in 1/2 or 3/8ths, and IMPORTANT #14x1.5" sheet metal screws and/or 1/4 x 1.5" lag screws. Each mount costs about $15.

1) Mark location of wall studs and where you want your wheel holders to go. Mine are hat posts with the middle of the "brim" 2 inches apart. Use 29" as the safe diameter of the Wheel/Tire combination...at least for almost all commonly raced 17" Sportbike Tires.



2) Prepare Flange/Plywood assembly as shown in pictures:




3) Place Assembly where you marked it on the wall, use a hammer to indent each screw into the wall to mark their locations. Take assembly off wall.

4) Where the indentations are in the wall, use a drill bit first where the flange screws go to make sure you have hit the studs. If so, go ahead and drill the rest of your pilot holes into the studs. Make sure to use a spacer on the drill so as not to accidentally drill through the outer skin...ask me how I know. DO NOT USE self tapping screws IMHO...my 1 failure of this system over thousands of miles of trailering was due to broken self tappers...and also before I added the plywood backing and additional screws...the flange was mounted directly to the wall.



5) Holes are drilled, everything is good...just tighten everything up



Now you can screw on your galvanized pipe, 6-8" works well depending upon if you are mounting a front or rear. Add a washer over the pipe, the wheel, some washers or spacer for a tight fit and the cap to hold everything on.

Awesome idea! When I get extra wheels I will have to steal that idea.

[sdiver68]

OK I've gotten a ton of work done, but most important was floor mounts for up to 3 bikes and tie downs for various cargo. I'll label the spots for the bikes Front (F), Right Rear (RR), and Left Rear (LR)

F or RR, STS Axle Stand
F or LR, Condor Chock
LR, Pingel Chock with or without Aussie Tyre Down
PitBull Trailer Restraint System bike can be FR or RR



Painting the walls will probably be done in season, less than 2 weeks before the shake-down weekend practice at Hallett Raceway!

[sdiver68]

Also, added the mount and most of the wiring for Trailer Cam. I would be done with the wiring but the marine grade 12V power outlet I ordered was too deep for my walls so I ordered a flush mount version.

Use this:

Great Build love the diamond plate idea.

Curious about the "bed" set up you have. I had the same idea for mine, but I am wondering how much weight that set up will support, I tip the scales at 270, think it will hold?

Yep, my wife and I together sleep up there at 330 combined using only 5 of the 6 supports I originally designed. Doesn't budge an inch.

Great, thanks for the reply!

Trailer is going up for sale, some pics taken late May, 2016 after last trip for documentation of final result.

Wireless brake controller and trailer valet



Vinyl graphics easily removed or replaced with graphics of your choice. Stored inside at all times so should hopefully not have sun fading...
