Well, I have been on this forum since just after Thankgiving and just this morning scrolled down and found this section...........
No wonder I been seeing those pictures of trailers with snow on them.

CD, You mean this close??

Randy, You will have to come to one of our gatherings. They will keep you as full as Fishing fools's do on the beach.
But you will have to make some T&TTT pies instead of TKF pies.

You're never going to get the grass mowed now. :lol:

WOW! Yeah, another two tone. She's lookin' sweet. Great job.

And man, that's one big guppy you got there. :lol:

Almost forgot. Love that little plant on the shelf. Nice touch.

Thankyou, I kinda copied the 2 tone idea and the trim from yours.
I still got alittle more touch up on the 2 tone, and fenders and lights and a few other things, bit it is almost there.......and ,,,,and my kayak rack
on top. And the best part about this one is I was able to stay way under what I budgeted for it. The windows were free, they came of an old camper top and the trailer was on sale ,, that helped a bunch..BUT when I get the a/c and a generator that will put me over.......

I have had fun doing this, I am already starting to collect stuff for my next one.

I might have missed it in another post, but where do you plan to install the AC? I'm just curious.

I am gonna put it thru the wall on the Left/driverside. near the foot of the bed. The kayak rack that will go on top will also re-enforce the sturdyness for it. I re-enforced the back, when I framed up the back door. quite abit, and it will be plenty strong to handle it.

I didn't get much done yesterday,

got the fuse block in, and tested the lights on the battery,,,,, checked.. OK
Got the fenders on ...checked ok

attached the lights to the trailer,,, not wired them yet.

Found an ATV rack that I cut down for a tounge rack, it will hold and ice chest or firewood...or a tounge box (FREE)

And touch up painted,,,, that 2 tone is eating my lunch,,,,,,,,I can't even color and stay between the lines.......

man, it is so close to being done, but it keeps dragging on,,,, as the sun goes down I have to stopp.... between the blood thinners and the cold, my fingers go numb....

I gotta admit, I goofed off alittle yesterday, I loaded some of my gear, the easy up and even made up the bed to see what it looked like.....then had to take it all back out....

by **Randy77301** » Wed Jan 02, 2008 9:09 am

I had to wittle on the blinds some to make them fit.

I haven't mounted the rack yet, I am still pondering if I am gonna use it or not.

Ditto on the draggin on. When I started mine, it was going so fast, I wondered why everyone elses was taking so long. Then it got to a point and it just kicked in slow motion. I don't know if it was the td or me. I still have work to do on my galley and some minor upgrades on the interior. I have to pull mine out of the garage and work on it in the driveway, so while it is cold, it is at a stand still. Where is global warming when you need it. I guess where all the other fairy tales are. :lol:

Great looking rack. That looks like it will work out great there.
