The little/light Camper Trailer Thread...

Ok, every two weeks move it to the other side of the trail.

Bigger than the teardrop I have but still pulling with a four banger.
Albuquerque to Saint Petersburg over the past week or so.

Nice!! Wonder what 490lbs would feel like behind my already slooooow HD?

It would feel really exciting in a panic stop.:eek1

Is there such a thing as E-brakes for those things?

I've wondered if a guy could put a trailer brake controller on a bike.

yep.

Put a little window unit on top, plug in at campgrounds, nice and cool and off the ground with no set-up.

Of course, the cost of that trailer would pay for an awful lot of Motel 6's...

I'm thinking about making my new (to me) trailer convert to an optional shelter.

here's what I started with:



I brought it home and mounted my collapsable mirage truck rack to it and painted the deckboards:



I was thinking it would be nice to make some custom tarps that would attach to the rack to turn the trailer into a temporary shelter from sun or rain. It doesn't seem like it would be a big deal to either get some tent material from Jo-Ann's and make panels to fit to make a "roof and side panels for 3 sides. I was also thinking it would make a good platform to set up a tent on for staying off the ground. :) My tow vehicle is going to be Neon, so I had to abandon the idea of a hard sided shelter.

This is gonna be cool

I'm down to a 20' Keywest CC that I keep in Destin now. It was in a high and dry but, TODAY, I just found a slip with a lift and she has a new home that I can get to 24/7

Here is my take on the idea. I use it to haul boats as well as my bike . Then I tarp it and set up a cot.
For now I am using poly tarps untill I get the bugs worked out. I will post up a few more pics later .

I should be down there the weekend of 12/15

I have some nylon material that I bought cheap at fabric store that was going out of business. I'm not sure if it would be good or not. Just playing around to see how much I have:



The screwdrivers are sitting there because I bought some stainless fasteners to hold the treated deck down, but I only bought half of the amount I needed. DOH! So this is what it's like to get older...

Do the hose test to see if it's coated and waterproof. You can treat it yourself if it's not, but it would be nice if it is...

I've been looking for a small travel trailer to pull behind my outback. This is a great thread for options.

$350 for a tent that doesn't come with a floor is cheap to you??

After what I just spent on a travel trailer, yes
