Behemoth Build Thread

[pjo129]

After must pestering from bobhenry , I am starting my build thread. I'm not sure how fast this will go, but, what is it they say, "I'm on tear time"?

I'll start by moving some related posts over to get them all in one place.

Thanks for reading. Let's have some fun.

I'll try to remember lots of

Ok, so I picked up a $50 donor trailer. It's a LITTLE bigger than i thought it might be. But I should be able to salvage some good parts from it (like windows and a good frame). Thanks to bobhenry for remembering me.






That's our 15 passenger van that is being dwarfed by it. Behemoth may be the right name.

Got the junk off the patio to make room for the Behemoth project.



I put the little HF trailer to good use. Thanks, Gerry.

Put some utility sides on it from scrap lumber.


Ready to go to the junkyard as soon as I license it.


The workspace/patio ready - mostly - to move the trailer for clean out.


This will start as a cleanout, remodel. Once I get into it, I'll decide if I have to tear down the whole thing and start over or not. The plan it to convert the back end into a tear inspired galley. The inside will have a queen bed, a couple bunks for little kids (my big kids - scouts all - get the tent), and a fold out table for rainy days (what her majesty wants, she gets )

Spring Hoosier Gathering is the hopeful time frame.

Welcome , so is this going to be one BIG trailer or oer you modifying the frame you could still do a teardrop but have a toy hauler rack on the front or you could do like the Castaway build ...either way thanks for sharing

The hope is to do little modification to the front and sides. Then put an upright hatch on the back. It will be kindof a standy/teardrop.

This is the build that I think of when people want a standy teardrop sorta thing

Today looks like thunder storms all day. Oh well not a total loss for the weekend.
