I just got home with it will post pic's tomarrow. It is silver and black it is a Load Runner 5x8. Need your help, want a removable galley. Have some idea's going around in this little brain. Would love some of your ideas, they have been a real help before. Thanks for any pic's of removable galleys.

Here are the first pic's:

Here is what it is going to be pulled behind...
With the sun shining on it with the reflextion from the house, it looks alittle gold or champaign but it is silver metal flake. My Jeep is silver.

I think the first thing on the list is a side door and window. Already started on the floor.

That's a great looking trailer and your off to a good start. I am looking for a 5x8 trailer myself to begin the same project, I look forward to watching your progress.

What type or rear doors? Swing open or ramp? You are looking for a removable galley, correct? A ramp might allow you to use casters or a garden cart to relocate your galley easy enough.

Great idea for a rolling galley. My trailer has a ramp door so I might consider that.

bc: Just curious, what did you use to cut the window opening, a reciprocating saw or what? About to do this too so would appreciate any tips!

bctoys,

I am jealous that you have done more work in a shorter time than I have on my cargo conversion. You even have a custom door, too!

Since we are only a couple of hours apart, and are both using Jeeps as tow vehicles, we should get together some time after both trailers are camp-able and compare notes. Of course, mine may be a little longer getting to that point! :cry:

I am hoping to be ready to upholster the folding bed in another week or so, though. After that, I'll be camping in it, whether it is "done" or not.

Good job on your conversion. :applause:

I like the white interior. It looks real clean.

Gil
