Just a Kiter from Oklahoma

Postby pyro22487 » Tue Apr 15, 2014 12:17 am

Hi names David. I have been working off an on my teardrop for a year now and finally had a fire lit under me to finish it up. I have named her the "Kite Loft". She is a 6x8 wildgoose spin off. I sided her in fiberglass reinforced plastic and I think te grand total weight is around 400 pounds. I need to get her weighed.

I am going to attempt to post pics and see what happens so here goes.
This is what I started with. It is a Comanche tent trailer from 1957ish

Welcome.


That looks like an Okie trailer to me if I ever seen one. Ha Ha


If you can resize your picture to about 640 x 480 or 800 x 600. Newer camera take such huge picture and most people have no clue on what a Mega pixel is. Another option is use use a phone hosting place and just post a direct link to your photos.


I wouild like to see how you did the wall. My new camper planes are getting heavier and heavier and I have not even started building it yet.

Humm Interesting, will you insulate it a bit and add an interior skin?
