Postby lilgription » Thu Sep 19, 2013 8:30 pm

Well here goes........LOL.. This pod will be built with runners on bottom to be slid onto an existing utility trailer for my hunting and fishing trips.. 4x7 in size with no galley. Just simple or a K.I.S.S. style build112467

I got the rear door framed in last night.. Going to cut my ply paneling in a bit for the ceiling. The interior walls I think I will carpet with something that matches the ceiling. The ceiling is a sorta white washed aged panel , you can see it in the background in last pic I posted of the window and wall on the saw horses

You are ripping along! Looking very good! I Just love the way it is coming together. Putting in light colour wall coverings will make the interior look bigger. I am keeping an eye on this one!

I have a gantry in my garage with an electric winch in which will probably the main option since it may stay in the garage anyway on a cart.. Also I have a couple sections of old conveyor roller track that I might build a standout of about the same height as the trailer. I may just add a simple hand crank boat winch on the stand and one on the trailer........ probably do both anyway.. I'll cross that bridge when I get there....LOL gotta get it built first

Yeah the rear door was my only option since this is going on an existing utility trailer. I will add some pics tomorrow. Going to skin it in the morning. I have to wait until next week before I can epoxy the outside. I have one more window to cut out and since its on its way I don't have the exact rough opening measurements
