Then comes the windows and curtains and a/c unit. Next the ceiling fan not one of those little fans a 52" Hunter ceiling fan with the 3 light fixtures. It's a disease run ! Run for your life.

It is too late he is already infected and will succumb to this terrible disease which has no cure.

He is probably already planning #2 and has not even started #1 :lol: :lol:

to the playground and a shorter Name will help poor Aunti's CSR a bunch. :D

You can build one with out the stuff. You will need windows and a roof vent probably. It can get real close in a small space without air movement. :thumbsup:

Hi, and welcome to the board. Everyone has their own idea of what they want in their tailer, and if possible, I suggest you go to a local gathering or hook up with a fellow Texan who can show you how practical having a galley can be. Unless you are 7 ft 10 inches tall, an 8 foot bed might be kinda long and wasteful in your Harbor Freight trailer camping box.

Now don't get me wrong, do what ever suits you most, but do try to check 'em out before the big build. One nice thing about building it so simple, is all that's needed is about 5 sheets of plywood, some hinges for the door and a gallon of house paint. Also, the build time will greatly be shortened. Good luck, post more questions and pics......and enjoy.

Roly :thumbsup:

I have 2 in the drive semi finished and my brother in law drug in 2 more freebie trailer frames this week. I need a longer driveway. The little one is old a drop axle and late 30 early 40 looking wheels will make a real neat retro tear. Oh God here I go again !
