Welcome dusty!! atahoekid here and I too got my hands on a tent trailer frame. Since I live up near the lake, I unfortunately have had to button things down for the winter and will start building in the spring. This site has a ton of info on it and you're right it can be overwhelming but keep digging around and it will soon all make sense. At least it did for me!

It'll be interesting to see what you do with your frame. I think mine is about the same size. Don't you worry about asking any "stupid" questions. The folks on this site don't mind sharing their knowledge to make it easier for noobs like you and me. No such thing as a stupid question.

I look forward to seeing your pics. It will be an interesting study in parallels. I think we're getting a pretty good group of TD owners up here in No NV. It's a great place to live. SHHHH!!!! don't tell any one that'll spoil the secret
