Not So Pro 3

[Woodpecker]

I was gonna build a redneck toyhauler from a box trailer meself, we always in the desert on the weekends in the winter. Well Except when CAD flares up. But anyway, some friends heard we were looking and sold us their older 28’ bumper pull rv trailer for chump change. Needs a roof n shower fixed but woop woop. summer road trips too once I find an appropriate pickemup truck.

I did my share of fixin' on commercial RVs that were "gifted" to us, and swore I'd never actively purchase one. This way the cargo trailer is better built to start with and I know I won't half a$$ "build" the rest of the camper out.

Hear Hear

Should be something like this minus the inside toilet and stupid tv. If I wanted my family to watch tv I'd just stay the fork home. Probably go much more simpler in the kitchen area too. Bunk beds inside instead of the full size bed with bunks underneath as well. Sew i guess really nothing like that trailer.

Rvs are crap yes. Wouldn’t buy unless cheeeep like we got it. It was ready to go or close enough as is and I am already neck deep in projects (my own fault)

For sure. With less than 2 months to get the SS chuckwagon seaworthy I very nearly went the buy a cheap rv route muhself.

I would feel worse for her if it wasn’t self inflicted. Her body seems to be not bad not but her head is going to holding her back for a while. Can’t walk more than a couple minutes without needing a rest and that is if she doesn’t get dizzy. Can’t be left on her own so someone always needs to be with her.

Self inflicted or otherwise head injuries are no joke. I sure wish I could tell my younger self not to play football.

I fully understand that and know this will be life altering for her. The husband of one of my oldest friends suffered a TBI many years ago and it took 15 years or more to return to “normal”. There were times in the first 5 years that he was a completely different person and you never knew who he was going to be.

It's nice when someone actually "gets" my particular flavor of funny. It doesn't happen often because I'm not so much funny as much as just a mean prick.

My friend Rudy is a complete prick. But sometimes he's sorta funny too. Maybe you're like Rudy.

Oh I was mistaken then. I thought Wanky roughly translated to redneck. I see its the othet end of the spectrum.
Id need the low rent district parking for that ole girl.

Yeah sorry, that's a translation error on my part. If you're ever unsure, just ask.


So wanky launch owner would be egotistical and self-indulgent. And often a terrible sea man. Money, not brains.

Welp I finally talked the wife into ditching the tent for camping. We've been tent campers for 20+ years. Having to set up a wet tent to dry out after getting home was the straw that broke the camel's back last year. Sew it looks like I'll be spending muh nights and some weekends building 4 beds and a kitchen on wheels.

Called every trailer place in a 250 mile radius and luckily snagged this 6x12 all aluminum jobber.

I'm sure it's just the pic playing eye games Brad, but man that drawbar looks short?

It mostly seems short because of the front of the trailer being a v. So yeah kind of an optical illusion.

Is it just me or is the forum loading slow or not even loading sometimes.


Ohh, and good morning chainsaw jerkers
@Kiwioilboiler thats chainsawwanker to you,

 

[Kiwioilboiler]

Yep and the seals are shot. Not worth fixing it.

lol I was meaning Jason’s but probably true there too lol

Didn't expect that from you Dallas. Woulda thought you could get 5 bucks worth of seals for the old one, doubt that's possible with an import jack.
