The Sieg? We had to pull the "T" out of his name 'cause he was driving too fast...


Hopefully you can make the Lat G get-together on Wednesday evening at the Flamingo.

Found this trailer while just cruising around Racing Junk....


Part of it would be PERFECT for me! A guy that's never seen "enough" tools.... Check out this tool list!!! OMG!! :willy: :lol:


http://www.racingjunk.com/New-Traile...SuperSize=true

you'd definitely be the "go to" guy at the track. :unibrow:

Yeah --- I sent the link to Charley and said "wouldn't MIKE love this set up!!"


Nasty trailer - but the tool list was/is certainly impressive!


I'm still waiting on all the drawings for mine -- after my trip to the dealer in Chandler and a great discussion about how to "do" mine.... Raising the floor in the living area to get the headroom down to "normal" but giving me bigger tank storage for water/grey water etc... and giving me pullouts for BBQ and Cooler... It was a great idea! So scrapped the plans we had and started over. I'm my own worst enemy! :rofl:

It's like shopping for a house; once you find one you like and you decide to buy it................... quit looking!!!!!! :lol:

Well.... This is by far the longest "process" I think I've ever had to go through!

That's the problem when you're trying to do "custom" I guess.

Renegade has now told me that I can't do "living quarters" stacker longer than 44' with my truck and hitch set up. And I hired Mayflower moving to come and check out my street and driveway and they're telling me a 48' is no problem. But now I'm limited once again by the weight and hitch (mini fifth wheel).

So I'm having to split my "I want" list in two parts --- what I want in the garage area and what I'd like in the living quarters. I don't want the garage area to be any smaller than what I have in my current 24' trailer.... That's locked in stone. Any smaller than what I have now would be unusable IMHO. So what get's squeezed is the living quarters. Which leaves only 20' (including the overhang bed room area). We'll make it work - it just won't be as B/A as I wanted. Smaller is actually better for me so I'm okay with that. But what a process. You don't know any of this until you say --- well I want this and this and this.... you wait a month and they say "NO". Crap -- tell me up front so I can work with something!!! Argh!

Lucky for me -- I was smart enough to plan ahead a bit when I built "the shed" 8 years ago! The big door (actually my brother in laws suggestion) is exactly the right thing to have put in!!

I need to install the CB and a couple of other things -- so since it's suppose to rain about 5" this weekend -- and it's COLD -- It's nice to bring it inside to do that kind of work!!




http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...me/file-25.jpg

Maybe you need a bigger Truck :rofl: :rofl: :willy: :willy:

It does look a bit ridiculous towing the "little" 24' trailer. The truck is as big as the trailer! :willy: :lol:





http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...me/file-28.jpg

HEY!!! You have A LOT of work to do... I see boxes of stuff sitting all over the place down there! <remember ROMPER ROOM when she'd look thru the big magnifying glass and call out names?>

This should help you get up to speed on the CB good buddy. :thumbsup:

I needed that refresher! :lol:


Actually -- people make fun of a CB.... But it's really helpful when you need some "truck" info...

I squelch it way tight so I don't hear all the BS... But if there's a wreck ahead etc -- it can be invaluable to help make a decision on exiting and or finding fuel etc.

I'm an old licensed HAM and have always had a soft spot for all things "radio".

No doubt, they are a great tool on the road. :thumbsup:

yea it would be nice if some of the ppl we have ordered stuff from like shelving would ship the product so i could unload all the pallets!!!

this that Wilson?

nice job on the BIG door, ya it's pretty ugly outside...I'm missing the 80 degree Vegas weather already

Trailer's perfect size , you just need a bigger shop now! Great lookin' set up Greg, enjoy.

I just today FINALLY got a version of the trailer in prints that I can work with.... now I just have to drill down on some details. Like I told the factory -- Start laying the frame rails!

It took some work to get the plant/management to realize my tractor could haul this... I finally took a picture of the GVWR and rear axle spec etc. :woot:






http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...me/file-29.jpg

Wooohooo, Bonneville here we come! Rolling in style next year...wait, you're still going right?

Looking good Greg, did you ever decide on painting the grill? If not I say wait till you've got the entire package together and see how it looks.

Sometimes it's best if you have a friend, or someone you hardly know, drive and you follow down the highway. That way you can see what it looks like rollin down the road, just sayin. :unibrow:

How's it go? Eeeeeeehaaaaawwwww

:cheers:
Dan

Floorplan looks awesome Greg!

I'm sure I'm missing something, but there's no door? That's an awful drastic measure to keep Charlie out.

EDIT: I see, door under the TV. Seems like TV should be centered on the couch!
And while I'm spewing inexperienced advice, it may be nice to have el bano closer to the bedroom and/or closets.

Greg,

Very nice buddy! Question, is there a regulation that says you can not have a door from the living quarters to the hauler section? I have had this discussion before with mixed answers. I noticed yours does not. Is this for floor space use or due to regulations? Just curious! :thumbsup:

I have a cordless sawzall so no problem for me.

Finaly...something tangible to look at :lol: :thumbsup:

I thought building a house was a long project!!

The FRP walls have ballistic material woven in.


Did I tell you I have a Washington and Utah Conceal Carry permit?:woot:

OMG.... YOU THOUGHT? How about me?

I gave a deposit in JULY..... and very LARGE deposit... thinking that I would have a trailer by September.... It's now December and I'm just looking at plans. Of course there was a switch of builders in there as well.

I've never worked so hard to spend money!


:cheers:

No regulations that I've seen and I've seen plans done that way. I don't want it - it's a waste of valuable wall space. Trust me - this is not exactly flush with space.

I figure I can walk my lazy arse out one door, open the other and go in the garage...

When Charlie uses El Bano -- I don't want it anywhere near my sleeping space!


I'm changing the SOFA to a dinning table and settee... there will be no other sleepers in here except Gwen and I... and I can go lay in my bed if I want to watch TV in the evening... or sit in the settee.... I'd rather have a place I can go in and sit down and read a magazine - eat - or use my laptop WITHOUT having to set up a table - and take the table down - each time I want it. There is NO perfect solution of course - unless I had the footage to do BOTH -- WHICH originally I thought I would. It's all about trade offs. I want a big SEPARATE shower! Not a camper all in one shower/toilet area.

You got it!!!


:cheers: :thumbsup:

At least you'll be on Medicare when it's done, haha. You know we are looking for a new venue for the lat g party at SEMA. This will work just fine.

"Setee" ? Dude...Turn in your man card....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:cheers:

I didn't know what else to call it!!!


Please accept my resignation. :willy:

Didn't you already give it to Gwen? :_paranoid

Only when she's around...:cool:

That is a big ass trailer. I hope you like staying in it at rest stops when on the road. Cuz your not getting that in a camp ground or a hotel parking lot. I have been there done that. Plus your stuck eating at truck friendly restaurant on the road which means the food will suck when traveling.

I like the rest stop sleeping cuz your right back on the road. But late at night it can be tough to find a spot to sleep on the park at sleep along the highway. Between rest stop sleeping and a huge fuel tank you can really put down the miles.

Rodger

Do I get my man card back because of SIZE?? :rofl:



Rodger --

The whole reason for this trailer with LQ is to NOT have to go to hotels unless the truck is already at the track etc and I can just back a hot rod or car out and go to one... like when we're all at Thunderhill. AND the fact that I hate "on the road" food... so would be FAR HAPPIER just making my own stuff... and I have a two state (Washington and Utah) concealed carry permit (and the balls to use it) -- due to planning on "off the road" up an exit or whatever sleeping arrangements.

I usually leave Seattle at 4:30AM - and in the winter it's raining and dark and crappy so by the time I've hauled 10 or 12 hours... which puts me in a rest area etc at 5:30 or 6:30PM... That's the beauty of this thing -- I can go and stop where I feel like - without reservations.. Without having to wrestle a parking spot at a hotel and blah blah blah. I figure I'll just back her up into Charley's driveway and camp for the night. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


I can actually make Thunderhill with the truck and trailer in one day - but that gets REAL OLD as I get real old.... and then what I want to be able to do is to leave there and then just fuss around going where I want to. Now with the Sun Valley place -- I might be heading there instead of Seattle... etc.

I tried and tried to make it smaller -- but the living quarters -- or the garage area just gets squeezed to where it doesn't make any sense.

Once you get used to the rig you will be able to practically whip through the drive thru.

Looks like a nice lay out.
