Thanks everybody for all the kind words. I haven't had much forum time since we finished up that trailer, been going crazy with lots of other projects.
I "delivered" the trailer to him way back on Easter Sunday. 120 mile one way trip, no issues at all. Since then we swapped out the axle to a full 3500# unit to give him more capacity, and swapped to 15" wheels & tires at the same time. He got to take it out 3 or 4 times this year and seemed to really enjoy it, so that's good. Unfortunately, we were never able to sync up the schedules so I've yet to actually camp next to it! Maybe next year...
Meanwhile, it sure has been nice to have it completed so we could get out in the Sunline and do some camping!
I've had a few people email and ask for plans, etc. I really don't have any to give. Most of the drawings and such that were used to build this thing are right here in this thread.
Here's one last picture, taken a couple of days before "delivery." We had just given it a quick bath and were getting ready to tweak the hitch for it's first test drive. First stop that day was the local RV dealer who had helped us with ordering some parts. We were a bit hit, the owner liked it so much he rounded up everybody (including a few customers) and gave them all a tour!
Thanks again for all the comments, support, and encoragement!
