Hi All form the now wet left cost N of 49

Postby BC Dave » Sat Oct 31, 2009 1:08 am

Hi All form the now wet left cost N of 49;

After much thought I bought a (now don't ostercis me) a 6X10 4" drop axel, 6" overheight (6'-1" interior height) Interstate CT.

I do love the teardrop design profiles; there great and well designed; BUT size, time and usefullness was a constraint with the tears at the time of purchase last Nov 08 ... over the last winter I started looking at priorities of how I wanted to use & design the trailer.

Some of the criteria was to be able to haul 2 or 3 motorcycles; ease of loadability; running water; shower; cooking and camping facilities ... and finished on the inside would look like a woody!

to date; I gutted the existing interior; installed 2 windows; insulated; installed new walls; rails; sink; removable front "kitchen" counter bar arrangement; built moduar storage boxes; 2 -26X 6'-2" removable beds; 12V fuse box; wiring; 2 computer? 12 V vent fans; 4 halogen 10w lights (Ikea); 12V 3 cig style plugs .... (Iv already ID-ed 2 electrical things I sould have done; both of which I thought of doing but forgot or cut corners at the time! )

....in the process of installing shelves over ft kit counter; 4 side shelves ... planning 15A 110 shore on left side of trailer

... and then discovered this great forum! and all the answers I had been looking for are right here; I had a good laugh and felt I was among friends.

Thanks all for posting and I'll post some pics when I get a chance soon.

Been on 2 camping trips one beginning of sept 32 C (about 85F) and another -16 C (about -4F); and learnt some intresting things! Floor insulation is a must ....and aluminum & steel trailers conduct alot of heat out! lol It was soo cold the water system froze solid and i couldnt defrost it the next day ....

Cheers Dave

Greetings Neighbour (Can sp...;)

-4F was on the Bonapart Pleateau; (high elevation) NE of Kamloops when we had an Arctic cold front over the Canadian Thanksgiving Long Weekend (eh) Oct 12, move through the BC Mt Interior ... we were prepared with 3 season mummy bags plus a summer over bag; in the morning i was watching the frost form around the 1 inch hole I was breathing through in the mummy bag ... nobody expected to see the temp drop that much ... we stayed one night ... ice and frost all over the inside of the trailer.

Our TTTs remind me of Snoopy's doghouse. Small on the outside, with a 40 room mansion on the inside.
