Tiny expedition 4x6 build

I had a truck bed conversion with a rack for my roof top tent. After the last camping trip with a 5 month old and a 5 year old the wife had enough of the tent. I love my roof top tent so it is going no where. Ive always wanted an expedition trailer but couldnt afford it. So I set out to find a dual purpose enclosed trailer. Finally found a 4x6 that I was able to trade for some guns.

Small guy I scored

Tossed all the oil soaked wood and insulating

Insulation

Painting the underneath side of the bottom platform with some old latex paint I had from painting curbs.
Image
Just scored this all aluminum box for the front tongue
Image
Things I have to do.
I still need to insulate the roof, but waiting to see if i need to add more braces to be able to mount my roof top tent.
I have a side rv hatch door coming for alternative egress.
Run wires for future lighting.
Most likely doing a raised sleeping platform for storage underneath.
Find some small cabinets for rear swing out door and possibly inside.
Ect ect ect more to come.

Not to worry, no time limits here (unless you impose on on yourself). One of the nice things
that goes on here... no pressure. We'll just enjoy the results as you post'em.
