Steve came across this trailer while working on a GPS project for a client. The trailer was in fair shape with good rubber that held air (even though it was totally flat at the time). We picked up the trailer for a good deal and it has been sitting on the back burner until we have time to devote to this project.

Our Phase I plans are to:

1. Completely disassemble and sand blast,
2. Replace flat bed with new 16 gauge sheet metal,
3. Fabricate raised sides, and
4. Rebuild brakes, replace and repack wheel bearings.

At this point we will have a very functional trailer and we will take a step back to assess where we wish to go from here. We believe we will want to then move onto Phase II and:

1. Fabricate a hinged and removable top,
2. Install a roof top tent,
3. Wire for power,
4. Fabricate a secure location for a fridge/freezer,
5. Build a simple kitchen area, and
6. Consider some sort of water heater for hot showers.

We want to keep this project fairly simple and it will be a budget build. At this point we only have $100 into the project and should be able to complete Phase I for $400 additional. Phase II, even without the roof top tent, will cost us at least $500. It would be great to finish Phase I and II (again minus the roof top tent) for $1,200, heck, lets try to do it for $1,000!
