I lived in the back of a towyard in a 10 foot trailer, all my stuff too.

JYD!

Ahh yes!! I remember that...Nice rig!!! Do you leave it on all of the time or does it come on and off easily?

On and off easily, but I don't usually do so more than 3-4 times a year. It mounts to the rail tops with four beefy clamps and the bottom of the rear panel through-bolts to the lower part of the back end of the truck bed, tailgate off. I back into my carport and hoist it up to hang from the rafters from four lengths of rope.

And the truck hangs next to it

Come on, Willie...it's not THAT little!

A couple more shots, from a fall camping trip over to the Metolius River, west of Bend, OR.

Come on, Willie...it's not THAT little!

Here's a few new traila pics. Had to move it about thirty feet on to unlevel ground due to a death and property line disagreements. New spot has a better view but its more exposed to wind and there has been two wind storms that had the traila a shakin. Winds were blowing 123 mph on top of the mountain and maybe 60 mph at my elevation.

Got a new stove pipe thats longer and wider (from 4in to 6in diameter). Also the pipe runs at a 45 instead of 90 going through the wall. Works much better. I can actually run the wood stove with the door open and no smoke pours out the front!

The trailer is parked on a slant so I had to jack it up pretty good and put some lodge pole rounds under it to hold it up...might as well use what's free!!!

Built a new lean to to stack wood under. Used some small beetle kill logs and free 2x4's and ply wood. All in all I only had to pay for the lags to attach it all together!

Livin the high life in the traila!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Wow. Any new interior shots?

That sure is small!

 

[top_notch]

Thought I would include these too. Had to do a little wheelin with the rear diff locked and 4x4 low to get the traila up to its current spot. Also had to flip the axle on the traila to jack it up a little for more clearance.

RIP Tacoma.

No new interior shots, nothing has changed besides the new stove pipe. All is well here, and my lady is still enjoying her stay in the traila. Almost a year for her!

Looks real cool, but doesn't it get kind of hot in the trailer with the stove? Sorry if I asked that before....

 

[top_notch]

It does get hot, but the two roof vents can manage the heat really well. Its been a year and a half for me now and the fine tuning has manifested its self pretty well. My stove is almost air tight, so I can snug down the vent and burn low and slow.

Nice, is it on a pindtle? Would have thought that crazy angle would blow out a ball hitch. I also vote for updated interior shots.

 

[MasterBlaster]

This is something different.

not entirely novel

 

[top_notch]

Hot off the press. Notice the traila sized Christmas tree!

Nope, no pintle. Didn't come off either.

 

[top_notch]

I like the fourth one best...The others eat up all of your storage.

This is something different.

Man, I'm super glad this thread popped back up. I've been putting a lot of thought into getting set up for camping when I go to CA, but I wanted something more than that, since I love to travel so much. Can't believe a trailer never popped into my head. Not just for the CA trip, but travel in general. I'd love to just travel around the country, working with different people and trying some awesome stuff. This is kinda like the final piece to that puzzle for me, I feel so slow that I didn't think of it earlier lol. Looks like I'm gonna have to start looking into these.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

That's a cool one from the land of Oz.

TopNotch, looks good. Keeping life simpler. Thanks for the new pics.

I lived in, scratch that, out of my Astro van for 2 years, by choice. Not the luxuries of your camper, but still dug it.

THats cool, but $58,000! Yikes!
