A 12 ft. FEATHERLITE conversion

[Prem]

Imagine the better air flow and increased MPG towing IF they would just put the tongue on the other end of that high tech trailer and have the tail taper down more like a proper airfoil instead of tapering the front (which is not parting the oncoming air because it's directly behind the tow vehicle, which is parting the oncoming air).

I finally beat you to one story

Good find!

Here's another:



P.S. Short on firewood for the campfire? Just chip away at your house with a hatchet?

P.P.S. "It is not actually made from a single cored out tree trunk, but rather is constructed from curved marine ply covered with insulating expanded foam and layered with fiberglass on the outside." It sold for AUS$12K on eBay. I would prefer paper mache and epoxy, which I HAVE CONSIDERED USING. Been collecting brown paper bags.

BEAUTIFUL!

Does that have one of those fold out beds on the side? like these trailers? I've been trying to find if there is somewhere that sells them as a "kit" or if they are just 100% custom to manufacturers. Because there are a few companies using them now.

Here's one in a CT

[Prem]

The one I posted is a vending trailer because the side hatch swings up.

I really like both those that you guys posted.

The small trailer base price is $26,000 ....can you make me a small loan at for 30 years at 2% interest.......

compared to that the $30k in my OTTCT V2.0 ...seams cheap

Trailer Bum's Random Rules for RVing Success

Rule 1: Keep it super simple and keep it light/fuel efficient.
Rule 2: DIY if you can.
Rule 3: Free, recycled or reused parts beats new store-bought parts.
Rule 4: Get a pro to do what you can't. Trade or pay. (Always on the weekend and you provide the beer.)
Rule 5: Scrounge and always be on the lookout for pieces and parts you will need or can use to trade.
Rule 6: Get out of town and camp.
Rule 7: Break the routine. Go new places. Forget what month it is.

Where one can forget what month it is:

[David_L6]

Where one can forget what month it is:

I believe I could forget what YEAR it is there!

[Prem]

In the winter (mild temperatures) you forget what month it is living on the remote beaches of eastern Baja.

But the flies and heat are unbearable in the summer, which makes one aware of the overall year.

But then you just drive to the Pacific side, where it's cooler and maybe even foggy in June.

All one needs is a basic RV, a little knowledge of Spanish and $500+ a month for expenses. Fishing is free.

Beats winter at home!
