The album shows what I have now, the blue cargo, and what I had, which was really a decent deal. Traded 2 six hour days for the 17' Komfort with just moderate wear. Fairly clean, just a bit heavier than I wanted to pull.
With the new trailer, shelves is what makes my day. One with the TV and DVD with lots more room on it. Another above and longer so I can stack jeans, food or towels up there. And another across the back.
My choice is the 2 thin single mattresses and 3 foam pads. Because there is a big tent under the bed, with a Quick Canopy too. When we use the trailer and tent, I can send three pads to the tent and move the matresses side by side.
There are 2 sleeping bags stored flat on the bed, and 3 more underneath.
One more shelf over the cabinets, and the corner shelf unit next to it. The 2 nice oak cabinets are stacked, screwed to the floor and braced to top area ribs since I found little else of meatiness behind them.
In 2007, a Portland company wanted a landscape design at Seaside Oregon, so I drove down, met them and measured for an hour at the single large shrub bed, then drove 1/2 hour south to Nehalem Bay and did the design at my site. Brought the laptop, portable draft board and printer. Only took 5 hours on two mornings, leaving the rest of those first two days, and two more. I love jobs like that.
Anchored the fridge with aircraft cable I use for cabling big shrubs and small trees, using a single pass over the top and using clear vinyl tube around the top corners. Keep a cooler and a Mr. Heater for non-electric areas. The table is our old kitchen table cut in half. Recently removed a medicinc cabinet with mirrors that was getting thrashed from above the table and just mounted the $15 mirror.
Since the oak cabinets with food and stuff are the heaviest single item, having the bed in the back with stuff stored really does the trick to get the toungue weight down to just about 160 lbs.
About all I want to do, is mount leveling jacks under, or find a couple of scissor jacks, although I can't seem to find the scissor jacks separate.
Often, it's me camping to hike alone, but often me & my wife, or me & my son. But we get our mileage out of this.
Like I said - it's bare bones, but it's comfortable and dry.
I'll bet those beds are really comfortable and you've even got wall-to-wall carpeting in there! Loved the pic. of you, working at the picnic table with the old Sunset Western Garden Book at your side! What could be more blissful!
