Hello from near Corpus Christi!
I do a lot of odd job type hauloffs, etc., clean-outs of vacated properties. I'm kinda covered up with flatbed trailers, some not worth pulling out of a grass fire, some halfway decent that I wouldn't be a nervous wreck pulling down the road. I've had the idea rolling around in my mind for several years to build a camper out of one of 'em. Wife's in a wheelchair from a car wreck 30+ years ago, so that makes a ready made camper a non-starter for her. I have this mental image of a sorta toy-hauler but the only toy being hauled would be her chair.
I said earlier that we're near Corpus. 80 degree LOW temps in November/December are not unusual. Rarely gets over 100, but the humidity gets close to there too. Being that spinal injuries stop the body's thermostat, she doesn't sweat when she gets hot, nor does the vascular system constrict to help her warm up when cold (read that as anywhere under about 80 degrees), tent camping is out of the question for us because of lack of at least some degree of climate control. Only thing for us to be able to get out and go and do would be a home built one.
What brought me to this site was Tommy B's build post ( http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=66084 )Reading through how he worked through his build has solved a few of the problems I have been stumped on. Sometime this summer I'm probably gonna start on mine. It'll be pay-as-I-go and a lot of redneck engineering and repurposing, but I want something my wife will be comfortable with and comfortable with being seen in!
When I get started on it, I'll start a thread in the CTC section, I suppose. Seems the closest place that this strange thing will fit.
