Very nice Best looking trailer in the field.

I do wish I knew more about the 40 year old trailer. Is it in good condition?

[MeelisV]

thanks
no - its not in good condition it needs lot of restoration work
he told me the caravan name but cant remember it
it was made in england

edit: found it - Sprite 600, from 1965
its then 47 years

Those lights are awesome, I need to see if I can find them in the us. Your build is turning out fantastic as well!

[MeelisV]

LED stripe inside was 9,6W/m warm light
and outside was 14,4W/m cold lights

inside there is two lamps infront 1+1m and two lamps rear 0,5+0,5m
outside one door 0,5m other is same.

1m = 3,2 ft

outside lamp one 0,5m stripe shows on ground like 5m2 or so
its visible near trailer

inside one front lamp (1m strip) makes full cabin lighted that you can see everithing
and if two strips lights (total 2m) then its very good light.

i´m very happy

under galley hatch there will be 2 lamps (profile like on doors) ~1,3m per lamp and 9,6W/m
then full lighted inside and outside will be
inside 28,8w
on doors 14,4W
under hatch24,96
total ~ 68W and it will be enough and more then needed.

i was looking that i dont have any overview pics.
all pics are from detail or part of trailer







and again one detail pics
glued on one rail for tent or awning or sunsail or ...
what abels cover more area then only hatch does - let it rain or sun shine.

Looking good! The cycle fenders fit the tires very well giving a unique look. Sleek.

[bdosborn]

What a great build, how did I miss this? Great job!

my fender story

fenders are self made from glassfiber

firs made plug from cypsum



then we made mold



and then fender



under the fender there is strong metal frame it allows to step/sit on it at least 100 kg its then 220 lb
you can see little in here



its underframe ver. 2.0 because 1.0 was this one



and it was´nt strong enaugh - vibration broke it
it was on first run in 2006 after that the ver. 2.0 is working fine and i still can step/sit on it



little damage under the fender too,but nothing fatal

[KCStudly]

Thank you for the extra details.
