The "Boxter"... Anyone ever build one?

Postby Ramblerfan » Thu Feb 16, 2006 10:43 am

I see a lot on the web about a "Boxter" design, but can't find any photos of one except on the Tiny Tears website. ( Most of their photo links did not work ) Has anyone here ever actually built this design and how did it work out? It looks like there may be some extra room in the galley area and the hatch night be a little simpler. :thinking:

I stopped at a Harbor Freight store today in Terre Haute Indaina and saw the same stove pictured there on sale for around $69. Another amaller one with out the "grill" in the middle sold for around $39. They had 4X8 ttailers on sale for as low as $189 ( 8" wheel ) and $229 ( 12" wheel ). I'm holding our for a 5X8.

Rambler, make sure you print out the 10% off coupon before you go out to HF. Just do a search for it on this forum and it will show up.

No, I don't want to hijack your thread... but I camped in Terre Haute last year about this time...

Naturally it doesn't look much more alive than Michigan at this time of the year.

Back to your regular scheduled subject...

5x8 is the way to go... too bad HF doesn't sell them...
:cry:
