I've been following along with you, very nice camp trailer. Have you decided on what type of water seal you're going to use for the side doors?

I am going to use this type of weather stripping around the opening for the pull out kitchen. the top side doors already have weather stripping.

Nice job. I really enjoy these build threads, seeing people’s solutions to problems and different ideas. So many ways to skin a cat!

Its kind of a slow build due to raising a 10 and 7 year old on my own. I try to do a little every weekend when I have the time and money.
I am 57 years old my kids and my project keep me young and happy.

Ironically, I’m working on a similar rack for my 101A2 today. Cut and bent the uprights this morning. Was considering notching them just now, but, coffee and internet sounded better.

That one looks more like an 1101, my favorite trailer. I think the 1101 would make a good base for a camper nice wide trailer, tall enough to strap tanks to the bottom. The frame is bulletproof, rustproof, suspension is great. It’s only a smidge heavier than a 101 too, and that can be remedied fairly easily. The guys at Expo act like the 1101 weighs a ton and needs a tank to pull it.
Those pics are great. Implementing the plan$ is the fun part!
The Expo site has cost me more non-recoupable money than this site. At least the stuff I bought because of SS has a solid resale value. I guess that stuff does too. I’m just running in the wrong circles. Or maybe I’m just running in circles?

Flipped the drivers side doors around to make it easier to gain access.

I may have missed it, but what is the plan with the plywood “area”.

Are the little pillow blocks the side doors pivot on, welded in place? Mine appear to be welded. Your project is really taking shape.

The plywood is just to keep cats out. But that area is for the porta potty, I still have to make the door for it like the other side.

Not sure what you mean by pillow blocks.

Not sure what they are actually called. The little doodads that your doors pivoted on. I see a hole where they might have been. Mine look like this.
