Hello from Fortville, IN
by blk05m6gto » Sat Sep 23, 2006 6:01 pm
Hello all. My name is Bill and I live in fortville, IN. I am 24 and work as a firefighter full time. I also run the install bay at best buy so any 12 volt questions anyone has I will be glad to help ya out. My friend at the firehouse has gotten me hooked on wanting to build a TD. (Not to menton almost everyone on my shift has a camper already). I am trying to decide between a 4x8 or a 5x8 home built one. Other than that I am open for suggestions so any help would be great. Thankx again. Bill

Welcome to the forum Bill. 
A 4' x 8' would be fine if you are camping alone, but a 5 footer would be a lot more comfortable for two. It also depends on what kind of trailer you plan to build on, a custom frame (which can be any width), or a HF red trailer (which is usually 4'). Mine is actually just over 4 1/2' wide, so it will accomodate a standard full sized mattress.

I started building this summer and have found a wealth of info from all the people on the board. What you can't find from reading the forum they are more than willing to help you with. Now you've been hooked there's no turning back.
