Something extra

Postby droid_ca » Mon Nov 01, 2010 12:27 am

I' looking for some ideas So if you had the space what would you have in your trailer

some examples

work bench for crafts
compartment for tools
shower or bath tub
spare beds for unexpected company

I'm sure there are tons of things out there so please submit all your ideas and maybe we could use some of them

the stranger the better

W.T.F.



Ok I'll play A billiard room !

A bar with seating for twenty

A home theater

Ya know what.....? This is a lame thread ......

I go camping to get away and see just how much of LIFE I can live without. I really don't want to take it with me. Good food, cold beer , good friends , a comfortable seat in the shade, good conversation, and a comfey bed out of the elements on which to lay my weary head.

These are golden

I think what is lame is to put other people down because their views are different from yours.

OK OK I stand totally corrected the spare bedroom thing has been addressed....


Image

And I am working on a chuck wagon to pull in tandum as my working kitchen. It could easily be converted to be a construction bed type trailer for tool compartments and the cooking counter could be easily beefed up to handle a bench vise.

Image

Yep it can all be done. I was just not thinking outside the box this morning. I am usually the first fool to try unconventional things. I really am truly sorry for not thinking thru my opening post. In my defense I was weak from hunger and not fully awake. :oops:

Rob, Thanks for wakeing me up to my fumpa !

Tandem trailers are only allowed in some states. In Arizona, the first trailer must be a 5th wheel to tow in tandem.

I wish there was more room for the galley. Bob, I like the swing outs, but not ready to go that route.

Ultimately, I actually wish I had built smaller. 1,340 lbs is bit much for a teardrop. So, for me and the Missus, a bedroom and a galley are all we want in our teardrop. :thumbsup:
God Bless

If that thing could support more weight - then you'd have bunk beds!

Bob,

Sorry to hear you're ailing.
Figured something must be wrong.

Hope you get better.
Spring camping season is right around the corner! :thumbsup:

Rob I must say you have one gorgeous trailer you must of spent lots of time planning it out, was there anything else that you wanted in it but didn't put in?

Thanks, Yes.
I wanted a wrap around couch with table, but in the end, having the shower and toilet won out.
