I have a 25 gal water tank with a 12 volt pump and a 30 amp service that feeds 120 volt needs and runs a converter to charge my batteries Insulating the wheel wells are on the list when I insulate the floor.. I will get more pics tomorrow and I do have a nice 8 point mount to hang on the wall.

Truly a go-anywhere my old truck would go machine. Last edited by pal; 06/22/21.

RIO7 Campfire Tracker R Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 6,878 Likes: 2 s.tex	Bought my little trailer about 25 years ago to haul furniture, don;t remember what i paid for it, but we hauled every thing that would fit in it, 4 wheelers, motorcycles, dirt bikes, clay bird machines, clay birds, cases of shotgun ammo, it's been on the East coast West coast, and to Canada, hauling some thing? For the ranch, when i talked to Ken Howell, about coming to the first gathering in New Mexico, i realized i needed a camper of some kind, and it was just sitting in the barn gathering dust, i drug it out and made a camper out of it, nothing fancy but warm and dry, i built storage and a gun cabinet front,bought a big cot and a bed roll, I use it once a year to go to N.M. the gatherings, I am 82 years old, and My idea of camping out is the Holiday Inn.

Also a side tent and umbrella mount make things better too. This is a receiver hitch flag mount that I use for a patio umbrella. I sleeved it with pvc and couplers and the pole fits like a glove. Nice rig tikkanut ! Last edited by JohnnyLoco; 07/15/21.
