    5x8 Trailer build

    So the windows are temporarily installed, I didn't find a good way to make up the space, so I jerry rigged something for now. The inner clamp rings come to find out were also ruined by the place that originally installed the windows. In the off season I'll be replacing both windows with better...

    5x8 Trailer build

    Painting is finally done! Got all the aluminum trim installed in the back too. I ran into a snag though. I used thinner plywood on the walls to save weight, not thinking about the windows. Consequently I made the walls too thin to install them... They're the style the sandwich the wall with a...

    5x8 Trailer build

    Cleaned out the trailer and stained the supports for the bed with Thompson's water seal. Too bad none of that will be seen ever again! About to be covered by plywood.

    5x8 Trailer build

    Little more progress. Walls are in, front wall is in. The black circles on either side of the cubby are the ducts for the heater (inlet and return). The little box hanging in the middle is the thermostat. On either side of that is wiring for the light and 12v outlets. Btw, the ratcheting truck...

    5x8 Trailer build

    I'm still here! My son is a month away from being born, needless to say I have had a lot of other stuff to do [emoji16] Diesel heater is in, front wall mocked up, started insulation. First project to complete is the roof, then the walls, then the front wall will go in. I also added aluminum...

    5x8 Trailer build

    More progress, slowly but surely! I replaced all the Tek screws holding the trailer skin on with capped rivets (was worried about them shaking loose off road). Also, welded in supports for the diesel tank (heater) and for the Harbor Freight Apache box that will house the water heater, got both...

    US Northwest N. Oregon and S. Washington Potluck - 10/20/2018

    I had to step down from planning these due to complications with my wife's pregnancy and needing to take a new shift and weekdays off to accommodate her appointments, so far nobody else has stepped up unfortunately. Hopefully there will be more soon! And welcome to OB!

    N.OR/S.WA meetups

    Hey guys, I'm not going to be able to plan any more N.OR/S.WA meetups, with the complications of my wife's pregnancy I had to take a graveyard job with weekdays off so that I can be available for appointments and such. If someone else wants to step up to run them I have some stuff I can pass on...

    N.OR/S.WA November gathering

    Hey guys, so I won't be leading this now, another member, Shaun, has stepped up to lead the trail run. He's far more familiar with that area than I am, and if weather comes into play he has other ideas for alternative routes. My reasoning for stepping out is my wife is pregnant! But...
