Hello from Victoria, BC, Canada!

Postby DougN » Mon Mar 09, 2015 11:25 pm

Hello everyone, this is a fantastic site! We're going to build a 5x10 Benroy and just ordered our trailer.
I've already learned a lot from this site and look forward to posting and reading much more.

We went with a custom built all aluminum trailer from a local fabricator on Vancouver Island. Here are the trailer plans, should be ready in 2 weeks.

Here's a similar trailer at Express Custom http://www.expresscustom.ca/expresstrailer.com/viewitem.php?productid=187

But first, I'm cleaning the garage, adding some lighting and getting ready!

Hello "bc toys", we (myself Doug and wife Angie) plan to build a 5'x10' Benroy. It'll just be the two of us camping.

I asked Angie earlier this year what it would take to get her out camping. Tenting was out, towing something large was out for several reasons, roof top tents didn't feel right (ladder and all), sleeping in the back of the Volvo wagon was an almost as I have a tent that attaches the back hatch, but it's really not great, tent trailers aren't for us, and so here we are!

I'd be in to that. Maybe mid-build I should have the local contingent over for a beer and inspection!

Thanks, I was pretty happy to find a local fabricator at a decent price, especially for all aluminum!
