Recieved my plans from JEM Watercraft today. It is the Northwind and will be fully strip built. The boat is 17ft 2in long and 28.5 wide. unfortunately it will be about a month or so before I can get underway with. I am having knee surgery Friday and will be laid up for awhile, but it will give...

That will be Dr. Smith to everyone North of Texas. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have a V-8000 that's been opened up. I will probably put it in. I usually look-up area Emergency Service freq. for the area I will be around to be able to scan. Kinda a high end scanner, but if I need help the 75w would come in handy.

Took a deep breath and took a grinder with a cutting wheel to the doors of my trailer tonight to install a couple of small windows. After measuring about six times I cut the holes and installed the windows. They worked out very well. I also got some of the wiring done. I sure do like these...

There was a mobile home here that was about 30 years old so the landowner had it hauled away for us. He also brought us a skid steer loader to use for the weekend to clean up the old foundation around the mobile home. Once we got all of the rocks and trash hauled away it was time to get busy. We...

jack, This windmill is still operable and where we get our water for camp.

We built a new cabin at our lease today. Here is the last pic I took this afternoon as we were leaving. I just thought it looked pretty cool.

OHH Jack..... :oops: :oops: :oops:

I ordered a LED lite for my trailer, but after seing it I am going to order 2 or 3 more. These things are super bright and would be ideal to attach to your yak for night paddling. My office is 16x14 and one of these lites it up pretty well. It pulls 350 MA so one of the small 12 amp hour deer...

Wannbe, Any of the larger Electrical supply companies can order them for you. Also this lite is actually a green protective sleeve over a white bulb. All inside of 2" clear pvc pipe. This green lite is made to sink also. The wife and I use it for Crappie fishing.

Fishing.

I had some 120 volt undercounter lites laying around from a job, so I converted them to 12 volts for my trailer. Still use the regular t12 bulbs just change the ballast. The lite is 2 feet long and pulls 2 amps@ 12 volts. This same ballst with ignite any flourescent buld from 18"-4'. The...

Got alittle more done today. Built the bed frame with a cabinet over the top and painted the inside. I ran across a good deal on some vinyl tile today so tomorrow I am going to lay a floor in it. I built the bed frame on hinges so it can be folded out of the way.

I want to say that the empty weight is about 1500#. I have had 5000 pounds of wire in it and it pulled very well. I really think it will be somewhere around2000# or less once completed.

It's 6'2" inside. As far as weight I don't have a clue. It has two 3500# axles so I am not really concerned about weight at this point.

Got alittle more done this evening. I glued 3/4 foam to the ceiling for insulation. Then I screwed 1/8 masonite to the ceiling braces. I am going to cut the hole in the nose tomorrow night for the A/c unit. I stopped today and bought some 2" thick foam to use as a mattress once the bed frame...

I have some louvered vents ordered. One of which will be installed in the battery box vented to the outside. I decided to raise the bed to about 24-30 inches for storage, because everything above your head is wasted space.

I will install some sort of roof power vent and a couple of louvered vents down low to circulate some air. I will also install a CO detector in case I decide to use a propane stove or heater. Also i am going to rig some sort of hooks down the rain channel outside to hang a tarp off of for an awning.

I have been wanting to build a trailer like Ron's for a while now. Randy posted his cargo trailer that he converted for camping and I thought Hey I have one of those that I don't use for work anymore,so here it goes. It is a 2007 Pace American 12x6 with double back doors. It had kinda become a...
