Overnighter Camper Trailer Build

Dun for today. More tomorrow

Schoolboy error number one

Measured the shackles using the longest single leaf and now I’ve bolted down the rest they are a little shorter

Hoping all will be well as they are still angled but only just

Ta darrrrrrrr.
Managed touch down today without the aid of a safety net.

You betcha

Come on Wednesday.

Urry up

tick, tick, tick

Back on mi ed in the morning.

Well what a battle that was. Not sure why but I’ve been at it all day and only managed to melt together four pieces of metal.

Mi new genny dunt like the welder so they have been rowin all day, i feel like I’ve been to the gym and for the last hour the hound has been giving it large coz he’s late for his tea

Any road up ‘outriggers’ just the one in reality



Thank god they ain’t structural

Other side done and on to the back angled bit. Still took me all day

It’s looking much bigger than I expected, and heavier

Just a few hours today playing with the bendy up bit at the back. I think I’ve broken the record for grinding out tacks

Huge faff getting the damn thing straight and square but finally getting there. Before finishing the rear outrigger I need to make a template of the rear series wheel arch so I can duplicate the shape and position the outrigger to suit.

loving the work Mr Stickle

Good job I have Eccles cakes.

Can't wait to see the finished product!!! Will it double as a boat!? Can't believe how much water we're getting at the mo

I'd be happy with the steelwork finished I hate bleedin mecul

It looks high enough to miss the big puddles.

Day off. Daughter home from Uni.

Its turning into a mare The new genny is struggling with the welder and its making things very hard to melt owt

I'm blundering on regardless as usual and managed a bit more this afternoon Another day at it should have it beat with any luck.

Its really taking shape nicely.
Will be good to see the chassis all finished and the bodywork going on!

I will be sorting the braking system out before the floor goes down. Just so it’s out of the way.
