Found this one on craigslist...

I won't post all the pics that are there but here are a few...

Well, it's definitely a home built. Somewhat interesting design.

Not sure what else to say about it beyond that. Could use some finish work, I'd think.

Looks campable as is, though.

Hello -

I was looking at this one and wanted to show my boy friend last night, but I could not find it again. Thanks for posting the pictures. It looked as is it would get a little cold in there (no insulation) and the wheels kind of scared me. :FNP
But any way.
Thanks for posting the pictures.

Definitely not a winter camper for sure.

As for the wheels, I was looking at those too. I think maybe it was built on a trailer for a jet ski or something. Perhaps a small boat.

If so, it could be ok depending on how much it weighs. I'd think one probably wouldn't have much weight to play with for gear, though.

TJinPgh -

Yeah - definitely not for winter camping. (I already had one of those non-winter tears) but I would think that someone could insulate it a little bit.

True enough.

Doesn't look like it would be hard to throw some foam panels in between those studs and then cover it with a little luan or fabric or something.

I'm just missing the point of doing the doors the way they did.

I suppose the gull wing could be used as a cover so you could sit there in the rain. But, if that was the idea, why not do the other side the same way.

Look at where the axle is. It's 90% of the way back. That think is gonna have a ton of tongue weight, and be impossible to move by hand. Dunno what the builder was thinking putting them way back there.

It's back there because it's a boat (outboard motor boat) trailer. :o

I am not sure that the other door is any different. From the pictures, it looks like that door has been closed the whole time.
