Hey guys I have a little project that I have been working on since last fall
I collect and restore vintage motorcycles and minibikes and I needed a way to haul them to shows as well as the extra storage because as you all know your garage is never big enough
It started out as the frame from a 26 foot camper , tandem axle with electric brakes
The previouse owner had stripped it down to the bare frame for a flatbed but lost interest I picked it up for $400
Then the planning began , I ended up cutting it down to 17 1/2 feet a more useable size
I know everyone loves pictures so here is a few of the progress
The frame when I got it home
Then I started decking it in
After it was decked in I started framing the walls from 2x2 spruce , I built it inside out so the 1/4 miranti sheathing is on the inside
Then I stood them up and started on the rafters
Then the outside was insulated and the wireing for the lights
The outside was skinned with shiny white aluminum sheets and the corners are trimmed with 3/4 x 3/4 aluminum angle
The doors are 3/4 plywood with the aluminum bonded to the outside and the edges wraped with 3/4 aluminum channel
The windows are 1/4 plexi set in rubber moulding
The inside is more functional than luxory lol , but it has a fridge , counter , sofa/bed and a bathroom portapotti closet
It will have two fold down bunks in the back
Still lots of finishing touches to do
Started wireing up all my lights today.
