enjoyed my first one so much I thought I would make another

Postby poordad » Tue Mar 12, 2013 8:12 pm

Hi everyone I've been reading here for a while and thought I would share my pix from my first toy hauler build and trade some ideas for insight for my next, we wanted a minimalist camp trailer that could haul toys so I built one from a 6 x 12 cargo mate that we loved, and now we are looking for a few more amenities on the new one as well as a bigger cargo area.

thanks in advance for any help

Another poor victim of traileritis. I'm afraid it's incurable.

Great build PoorDad.

If you build another one you will have to change your name to PoorerDad.

Welcome to the forum poordad,

I really like that first cargo trailer. Very simple, yet looks very comfortable. Now you got me thinking again, always dangerous. I just sent your pictures to my husband. Heaven help me if he likes it. I'll be building again. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Question....what kind/thickness of wood did you use for your interior paneling? I love the warm look you achieved on the inside.

thanks it was definitely a learning prosses for a first build :thinking:

I used the 3/8 ply that came with trailer and 1/2 ply on the roof, for the cabinets and trim I used western red cedar to cut down on wheight.

I will be using a 7 x 19 Vnose Aluminum Legend Delux, witch will definitely make me a poorerdad :FNP
