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 top. Reason I chose this for a basis is the bottom is 123.5 inches long, over a foot longer than a standard 105 trailer bed. Since I'm lousy at welding (it's actually a lot worse than that, but this project is not one to be learning on), I contracted with Evans Steel Service, of West Columbia, SC to do the fabrication. They are who I buy all my steel from anyway, and they have had a little slack time between other jobs to work on it.
First pictures show the two inch square tubing frame being built, and the latter ones show the 16 ga steel wall panels being tacked into place. They should finish it next week and then my work can commence.
