:D Bob installed 6 inch marine portholes in Trampus yesterday. Now I'll be able to see what's going on outside before I open the door. Plus I'm putting the fan in the back and the portholes are in the front, so this should really help with ventilation on warm days. And we installed...

but still have a lot of work to do. Need to get the Fantastic Fan installed, and the rack for the solar panels built, choose a good inverter, and decide what kind of batteries to purchase, and decide where to place the battery bank, and etc, etc, etc...but it'll come together just fine. :) [/URL]

Wow, I really wasn't financially ready to purchase Solar Panels, but this deal is one I can't turn down. I was looking on Craigslist and found THREE Kyocera 260W panels and a charge controller for $400 total. Like I said, I wasn't ready financially, but I can't let that deal go. I was planning...

My Amazon order of wallpaper came in today, along with an assortment of hooks, solar lights, and a closet bar bracket. I managed to get most of one wall papered. It's not perfect, but it looks a lot better. It's difficult to put up wallpaper by yourself! The first picture is what Trampus looked...

[/URL] I've had a few days off this week, so I've been working on Trampus's interior. The first photo is what he looked like the day I bought him. Last week, I received the bed from Amazon that I ordered the week before. It's usually about $200, but it was on sale for $118, so I bought 2 of...

:D I'm 5'10" and the interior of Trampus is 6 ft. Today my husband and I spent some time working on Trampus (really just fiddling around) but we go the used Fantastic fan fixed and working, so that's good. And we changed out the side door lock. The key had been lost a long time before I bought...

I'm gradually outfitting Trampus and I'm thinking light. A couple weeks ago, I bought a couple narrow daybeds. Today, I ordered collapsible folding tables and benches. A couple years ago, I had knee surgery and I still have my shower chair,  walker, and bedside commode. The reason I mention...

To be honest, I've NEVER boondocked in my life. However, I have lived alone in a couple places where I didn't have close neighbors. I lived for 8 years near the end of a dead-end road the ended at a cemetery. Lots of people would visit that cemetery in the middle of the night to (I assume) to...

Just ordered the bed/s for my "get-away" camper. Couch during the day, single or queen bed at night. :)[/URL] Folds, unfolds, with 5" memory foam mattresses. :)[/URL] I also found 1/2 inch foam floor "tiles" at Harbor Freight yesterday and bought enough to cover the entire floor of the trailer...

I was lucky and found a used Maxxair vent fan and Maxxair vent cover yesterday for $60. The fan works great and is in good condition. Unfortunately, the single lift arm is bent and won't allow the vent cap to fully close. Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement lift arm? We've tried...

I'll retire in 17 months. I was planning on buying a brand new cargo trailer to build out myself, but I found one for sale that was basically exactly what I was planning on purchasing. Ramp back door, camper side door, insulated, water and electrical power connections, TV, stereo, cabinets, drop...

Hi all, I've been reading postings and watching youtube videos for months. I've got to admit that stealth living in a cargo trailer seems to be more suitable for me. :D Good thing I already own a semi-beatup cargo trailer that looks like a work trailer. My worst enemy is the fear of "just doing...
