What one thing can't you live without on your tear?

Postby novaanne » Fri Jul 08, 2005 11:32 am

I have decided to design my own plans and its going quite nicely. This way it will be just they want I want it instead of buying a new one and altering it.

So my question is this...what one thing do you guys have to have on your trailers, or maybe wished you had thought of when building?

Thanks!

More storage areas in my original design. Storage is a must and a wider body. Problems I corrected on my second build

If your're sleepin' with anything bigger'n a shoebox, 5 feet wide would be the way to go. Tongue box and AC! Big door if you're not a petite size. Front dolly wheel and two rear stabilizers. Spare tire mounted underneath. Removable tongue has its advantages. Whoops, sorry, too many things. One thing......indoor porta potty! :thumbsup:

I don't need AC where I do most of my camping, but the Fantastic Fan is a great option, and I'm glad I put it in. I think some sort of cooling device is really necessary....Doug Hodder

I mostly camp where there is no power (RC flying fields) so the thing that I couldn't live without is the roof vent/fan combo.

My Osculating fan. It was the best #14.99 ever spent. I don't care how hot it is, with that baby blowing right on me I can still sleep like a log. I have a group 24 deep cycle battery and it will run all night for 4 nights before killing the battery. Usually by 2 nights I'm either on my way home or to another site and then the battery is charged while driving and I'm good to go.

Happy Trails

Michelle insists on air conditioning. She can't sleep if it's too warm in the trailer.
