Bedrock Bob Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Neat little trailer! I used to camp in one very similar. I called it my "covered wagon".You need to be careful with the black paint. You got spots on that dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonoran Dave Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Good idea Frank! Now you and your painted dog got somewhere flat to sleep. Bonus, you wont be suprised by something that slithered into your bedroll while you were away. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highbanker58 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Frank- at least you made it longer than you are tall. Sucks when you wake up in a SHORT trailer, all cramped up. Nice job!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
