Travel trailer scratch build

[Double vision]

Hey thanks for the info. I was thinking the styene may have been .040.



From what I see, your trailer building looks right to me! Thirty years ago I worked for a travel trailer company building new trailers. May have to revive my memory and use what I learned to build a tiny trailer version!:ror:



I'm sure once I get started I'll have some questions. I'll look you up then! Thanks!



I see you have a couple more new vids on YT. I'll get over there and check them out soon!

No problem B!

From your real life trailer experience and some of your builds I don't think you will have any issues with a trailer project. [emoji6]

Your 10-Pro in the video is pretty slick..nice paint choice also [emoji106]

Still tinkering..

Cut down a TRX4 Sport Expedition rack..it is just pliable enough to follow the mild contour of the roof..
Now the ladder on the rear has a purpose. [emoji2]

Great job on the build. Loving the awnings. Seeing that makes me want to build one in 1/10 scale so my Capra isn't lonely. Pull it with one of those CEN racing Ford dually rigs. Got my wheels turning..... "thumbsup"

Thank you MAC FAB [emoji106]

Those awnings are top quality..I was skeptical about the purchase but once they arrived I was very impressed. Well made and they literally only take 15 seconds to set up.
One of these would look great behind that CEN dually!

Finished detailing out the bathroom area with a shower head and tub faucet along with toilet paper, a medicine cabinet with mirror and it is stocked with a box of condoms [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

LED table lamp added to front of trailer,
city water connection bib, electrical hookup (with cord hanging out-- isn't that how everyone drives home?) LOL and water heater cover.

Awesome trailer, and great job with the Tonka Winnie interior refresh. Looks like you managed to take the 1970s out of it

I'm really loving all the detail you're cramming into it. Gonna be a really cool dollhouse truck

You're making me think it might be about time to try to restart my Teardrop build.

Thanks frizzen!
First real dabble into the whole styrene world for me but once I had my dimensions set it was pretty much like building with other materials..
Interested to see the teardrop once you get it going again!

The trailer gets better every time I see it! Great job on all of the new scale details!"thumbsup"

Not trying to hijack your thread. My VWs and Teardrop will probably get a build thread after i get the "Michigan Crane Dragline" build caught up to current.

Plans from a 1947 magazine, Teardrop Built For Two. 1/14 scale. Luan wood, Brass...

Sweet...VW's getting some luv.

That trailer is pretty slick! Thanks for posting it.
Man, my eyes can barely do 1:10 scale work..I can only imagine working on something even smaller [emoji43]*[emoji94]

Guess I'll wait for build thread to see how you did trailer frame and axle. [emoji3166]

Those busses look fun, and i'm digging the Double cab pickup. What monster trucks are those on?

Just some metal & stuff

Yeah, probably gotta wait for more details...

Nobody likes waiting..

All of those are on a Traxxas Hoss 4S chassis setup..play around with shock towers or even change the towers all together allows for many random bodies to work well on the Hoss chassis
The double cab was a full bus..I cut it down and fabricated everything you see there.
