My Trout Wagon is well under way and its time to share

Gray and fresh water tanks that are 3 inch PVC



Camper Box 1x1 16 Gauge Steel



Fenders



Air Conditioner in bulkhead wall. This was a tough choice.



1 inch foam insulation. Box frame primed. Electrical run and checked. Wood supports installed for fixtures. Interior Birch installed. Tongue and grove Cedar floor installed

Looking good! I like the pvc pipe liquid storage idea - I am so stealing it! (I think 3" pipes will fit neatly in a couple of runs of long narrow spaces in my camper!)

[Professor]

Steal away! I certainly have.

Do you plan to have a special compartment for the fishing polls. or are you putting pvc pipes on top you could run them in the upper corners inside the trailer and pull them out the galley. You know that place where you cook the fish.

Looks like a simple project nice window. you may want to put a curved bonnet or tung box with a curve at the top (not hard to do) at the front like I did on the boxkite. Found when you pull even though the pull unit should help reduce that the wind still flows around and gets caught by the flat front.
Here is one on a Camp Inn you just have to be careful you do not over load it. some folks put the battery up there and vent it on the sides.

Actually, I will likely add a roof rack with 4"PVC attached on either side for my long fly rods. But you know, I gotta catch a fish to cook one

I can't find a tongue box I like so I'll make one. I need it for storage, but like you suggest I also need it to split the wind. The battery will go in front of the tongue box in its own vented container.

Because I will be pulling it behind my Jeep Rubicon I have to add the obligatory High Lift jack on one side and an axe and shovel on the other side.

Summer got away from me and I had to pause while life happened, but Christmas holidays are right around the corner. Over the break I hope to finish the galley lid and start the siding. I intend on using aluminum siding.

QUESTION: What sealer should I use on the wood exterior before I contact cement the aluminum on forever? Any wisdom is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Interesting idea for the water tanks.
