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
