[QUOTE="justuspost, post: 870455, member: 15967"] Here is where I'll document the build of a trailer based camping HQ. Purpose: we love tent camping in remote areas. We thought about getting a slide in, but they are tiny inside and I don't like the idea of having a house on the back of the truck for performance and style reasons, not to mention they are fairly expensive and the ones that fit the Raptor don't offer a shower. What I hope to create is a camping Base Camp that I can easily tow to remote areas that will support us while we're off the grid. Budget: $9k The plan: Base: M101 (1991) military trailer 3500 lb off-road capacity. Needs electric brakes, raptor wheels, spares, rack for tent, Propane - support cooking and hot water, possibly generator. Electric - power lights, plugins, fridge, water pump, possibly rechargeable via solar, shore power, deep cell batteries Water - ample potable water for cooking, showers, drinking, hand washing Tent - rack mounted fold out tent for 3+ campers Air - ability to run power tools and potentially a train horn. Galley - sink, stove, fridge, grille Storage - chairs, camping misc[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 02:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]Day 1 Bought raptor wheels, $1600 Bought the M101 trailer full of tube steel $500 Drug it from Seattle to Portland [ATTACH=full]245743[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]245744[/ATTACH][COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 03:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]Day 6 Got the rack on a killer deal Thule X sporter multi height retail $740 on sale $591 Sold the steel in the trailer for a total of $128.40 Power washed the trailer and removed the top rack.
