Caraboatent

Post by timwilks13 » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:22 am

I am now the proud owner of a full galv trailer chassis with some wood and rotten fabric stuck to the top.
Going for a full custom rebuild i think, but need to think properly about what to do with it. Its too heavy to be pulled with SJ, despite being light anyway, so a full rebuild would have to be light as cheese. (the cheese with the holes in it).

I would love to build up an Airstream Caravan on it, they look so good. But what ever it is it needs to be light and red!
