Great design and craftsmanship/workmanship on that

Thanks for posting it.

Cheers,

Does anyone have a clue as to what the paneling is? I would like to have something like that in mine.



Thanks Prem.

Bob,

Cabinet shops put a finish on white wood to make it even whiter. Generally called a glaze. For what it's worth.

:thumbsup:

Norm,

Welcome. I find good stuff and I post it for who's ever interested. Ideas from others can help us all occasionally.

:)

I am thinking of experimenting with this idea for the ceiling. Could give me the wood look that I like, with a lighter feel to the ceiling which I was just going to paint white - for lighting purposes.

Bob,

I've had natural wood grain (Birch) on the ceiling of my CT for years. I'm going to paint it gloss white acrylic to bounce more light around, which equals less 12V electricity to operate the LED lights. (I only dry camp--no hookups--and I want to get down to a smaller battery, lawn mower size.) Less is more for me.

:)

Great Prem,
We can compare notes after our efforts are done.

Bob,

One of my favorite quotes: "Less is more, more or less."

:lol:

P.S. Less weight is always good in a trailer if one doesn't lose any conveniences. I tend toward overkill so I have to control the intake of stuff, as it were.

I tend to over build, over stock/carry and over think things out. It will be a challenge for me to back off on things until I see a proven need for it. But I will try. For me it will not be for the complexity of things, but more for the cost and weight that will drive me to keep it simple.

:o Love the color and the shiny skirting, the aluminum wheels and the silver step and tongue. Really pretty trailer:

P.S. I'm not going camping in the woods with a giant BBQ like that one in the background!

It's a trailer up in Canada. I just like it.

Prem, Howdy;

Yep it looks nice ... appears than one cooker in to be more the back ground.
Might be on some personal property for weekends and such.

Hank,

Looks like hunters. There's a smoker for meat there too.

Here's something that one could do to his/her cargo trailer: raise the roof.
