    Camp Stove

    It is nice! Handles the wind quite well. Self lighting option is decent but only works about 75% of the time, but it's not electronic. Has double the BTU output of the Partner stove, and it is easy to clean. Just watch for sharp edges.

    Family Overland Trailer Build - A-Aron

    Cabinetry in sleeping area and kitchen was all done in 1/2 plywood coated with Shelac to keep the natural charm. It is very strong, light, and provides more storage than we know what to do with. Cut a small pass through into the kitchen that has proven extremely handy and is probably one of my...

    The front and rear of the trailer got red aluminum diamond plate from www.cutsmetal.net and everything was trimmed out with taped seams, butyl tape, and 3/4"x 1/8" black aluminum angle. Then I added a 3 speed vent fan for hot summer nights.

    Family Overland Trailer Build - A-Aron

    Although Plywood wasn't my ideal choice for an Overland trailer.. its proven strength and ease to work with and relative versatility won out over much more expensive options. It allowed my design to be flexible to change as the build came together.. all joints are glued, screwed with pocket...

    That'll be a good fit, probably won't have to remove the front mud flaps and grind the pinch weld in the wheel well if you use that size.
