Tent Trailer

First off let me say that I am in no way a weenie ass that has to bring every luxury of the modern world with me "camping". I've always been disgusted by those individuals, and thought they had no place in the woods. However as I've seasoned a bit and have a family of my own I've come to the conclusion that there is in fact two types of camping. "Family Camping" (also known as "Car Camping") and "Rugged, Manly, Shit in a Hole, Sleep Under the Stars, Backpacking Camping". So I've become a participant in both. However even when I do go "Family Camping" I'm still a believer that you need to leave your modern day luxury items at home. That is why I don't want a fancy RV, all I want is a easy up hard shell tent. Something I don't have to spend two hours figuring out how to setup, or another four trying to tear it down in the rain and roll back up to fit into it's 1/2 sized tote bag. So the perfect fit is a Tent Trailer. I've spend some time scouring craigslist for a good deal on one. I didn't even care if it needed some restoration work. Finally on Monday I found a killer deal on a nice 1970's era trailer. Darci and I met up with the owner, got a full walkthrough on the thing, looked over every inch ourselves, and made a deal on it. This thing is in great shape, only some minor cosmetic work necessary. It's got very large beds, four to be exact, so we'll each have our own beds with plenty of room to spare. It's got battery powered lights and accessories, plumbing for water in/out, and propane powered stove. I'm not sure what all I'm going to keep and what I'm going to remove. I'm super excited about the amount of storage room in this thing. I can now organize and permanently pack all my camping gear in this and have it ready to go whenever needed. No more sorting through the multitude of gear to pack just what we need for the desired trip, and then trying to fit it all into the vehicles. We'll just pack some clothes, toiletries, and food. Then hook up the tent trailer and we're off! I'm definitely going to apply my master techie geek hack/mod skills and add some choice additions to this thing. First off is LED lighting to conserve battery power. For pictures, details specs, and a continuous log of work on this tent trailer click HERE.
