Project Sancho

[Fowldarr]

This is my new trailer project.

Painted the sideboards.

Had to work late tonight so I did not get anything done....

 

[Fowldarr]

Did a little painting

So the paint is almost done. I am looking for ideas on how to store stuff inside. We used it on a recent boys out trip, and it did great. But it was a mess inside with weekend gear for 6 boys and two adults....would love some ideas.

Looks like you've put a lot of work into it so far. Will black be the final color; will it be a concern to your gear to be enclosed ina black container that will absorb a lot of heat?

My thinking is along the lines of something modular and scalable, allowing you the flexibility to easily reconfigure the trailer for your needs. Some sort of low cost covered container that could be easily labeled to determine the contents or to the camper it's assigned to.

 

[Fowldarr]

I agree, but I am thinking some kind of shelving for sleeping bags and maybe some additional hooks for packs ( they did well last time, though I need to put a hook in place to run a bungee across the packs)

As far as the color, it will stay black for now. It will eventually get a repaint, but it needs a lot of other stuff first. The black paint was to stop rust and cover the logos that were painted on it.

Well, it sounds like you got a solid base coat to work from then.

Shelving... perhaps wall mounted wire racks for shelves that can be hinged to fold up against the wall for bulkier item hauling?

I've seen those drawers that folks use in the back of their rigs. I wonder if those would work for you?

This should make for one cool and unique trailer. Good luck with your build!

 

[Fowldarr]

It'll get some more work next weekend, barring any work issues that arise

 

[Fowldarr]

Paint is almost finished (in blank, it will get cleaned up and changed later), and I have fixed the back doors (the wood on the inside of the doors was rotted and splintering and the latching mechanism was no good). I will post some pictures tomorrow.

...I will post some pictures tomorrow.

We've heard this before.

 

[Fowldarr]

They will be iPhone pics, but they will be posted.....

 

[Stuart]

Just busting your chops. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

[TangoBlue]

Very nice. I assume you tow this behind a hearse or perhaps the "Death Mobile"?

 

[Fowldarr]

Still working on that. I think a black rattle can paint job on my 2012 Tundra would look real nice. That is just a base coat of rust inhibitor paint. It will get a respray at some point. While people are looking at this thread, I discovered last night that the tail lights are not working. I have blinkers, brakes, and hazards, but no tails.....anybody have any ideas?
