    Bunk Trailer for FRFS

    Craig, I'm constrained by space, esp in the S-280. There the bunks can have a max height of 55 inches and a max width of 26 inches, and the front set has to be built in the S-280 because it cannot be 'turned' to go against the front wall once built. In a shop van (M-109, or M185), there is a...

    Bunk Trailer for FRFS

    Roof panels glued in with Liquid Nails Heavy Duty adhesive - spacers were there to keep them in place till the glue set. Wall pieces just pushed in place. They will be covered on the inside by Lowes FRP White Pebbled sheets (#8566) which will be glued and screwed in place. Wheel wells done...

    Bunk Trailer for FRFS

    Finally got enough money to get the insulation. Lowes delivered it yesterday around noon, I worked till after supper, then called it a day. Had to get the car serviced this morning (370,748 mile checkup - it is a Toyota), so I did not start back to work on it till after lunch. Completed the...

    Bunk Trailer for FRFS

    Gus, I'm using two inch solid foam in the walls and ceiling, with 'Great Stuff' in the 2" square tube, 3/4 inch foam below 1/2 plywood on the floor, and probably some foam boards under the floor held on by glue/undercoating and clips. If I like the way it turns out, I'll probably re-do the...

    Bunk Trailer for FRFS

    Got the second coat of primer on this morning. Started patching the holes in the floor with undercoat. May pick up the two inch foam tomorrow and the Behr paint. Monday will be painting the outside and putting the Cool-Seal on the roof (weather permitting). Then the A/C and some of the...

    Bunk Trailer for FRFS

    Picked the trailer up this afternoon and got the first coat of Rustoleum primer on the walls. Hole in the front is for the A/C. Weather permitting, it will get another coat tomorrow and then be allowed to 'cure' for three days before we get the Behr paint out. I'll also need a taller ladder...

    Bunk Trailer for FRFS

    Roof vent, yes, windows, no. The door has a window on it to let some natural light in. Inside will be painted egg shell white, probably in semi-gloss to help make it bright. Reason for no windows is that most of the wall space will be taken up by the bunks, wall lockers, desk/vanity, door and...

    More progress today. Front and back walls complete, now they are working on the roof. Place for the A/C in the front and the doorway in the back. Door will be installed after the roof is finished.

    Bunk Trailer for FRFS

    Harley, When it rolls as part of the FRFS, it will be behind the M36/S280 that has six bunks, and rolling with the two M109 Shop Vans converted to Pantry trucks, each pulling an MKT (one for cooking, the other for washing up), and a couple of deuces carrying tents, tables, chairs, wash stations...

    Bunk Trailer for FRFS

    Putting a peak in the roof was going to increase the price by $1100, so I opted for a flat roof and a gallon of roof sealer.

    Bunk Trailer for FRFS

    Exterior will be primed, the painted flat 383 green, with the roof sealer on the top to reflect sunlight. Next step will be to insulate the walls, ceiling and floor with 2 inch foam boards, get the electrical system planned (overhead light inside with a switch by the door, power outlet for the...

    Bunk Trailer for FRFS

    I've started the process of getting my bunkhouse trailer built for the "First Responder Feeding System" (the official reason I have the green machine addiction). First step was getting a stripped AN/MJQ-18 Power Plant (generators removed), taking the bows off and preparing the bed for a new...
