Wrapping my year long renovation

[RiafromMN]

Wow!! I am amazed. It is possible and there IS hope.

Wow!! Very impressive , love it, a true labor of love. Couple of questions, did you use a lift kit for axles ? and did you remove the vista windows for cleaning up the mess that can accumulate in-between the panes ..?

The patches are beautiful....great work! What did you use to cut them out?

No lift kit for the axles. Installed straight from Andy at Inland RV Center. . Yes I wanted to keep the dual pane design... Here's some pics

I also moved the curbside Vista that's partially under the awning to the street side and cleaned the door window and panoramic window curbside

Thanks. I used a harbor freight pneumatic shear and then finished them with a dremmel cut off disk. Here's my favorite

firmed up the street side Awning mount

Here's a fun pic of the chaos created when I was building the furniture

Here's the current vs previous ride height of the trailer - slightly different due to camera angle

Gorgeous job. Absolutely awe inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

[nickclifford]

So how did you raise height?!

New dexter axles rated for 3500/ea with 32° angle. The originals were shot - frozen and were providing no lift/cushion. I drove back from Eastern Oregon over Chinook Pass which is a narrow road that looked and felt like a Disneyland ride and the Ottoman in the trailer never budged. Axles performed great.

It's a Cubic Mini Grizzly. Works great. Amazing ambiance. I worked with Nick at tiny wood stoves for parts. nick@tinywoodstove.com

I also worked with Nick at tinywoodstove.com for parts and he's been great to work with. Up until very recently he and his family were living in an Airstream with a wood stove, so he knows exactly what you need.

Gosh, your trailer is so very beautiful. It makes me smile just thinking of you and your loved ones enjoying the wonderful creation that resulted from your vision and hard work. And I don't even know you!

Thanks for sharing. Happy travels.

[Pygmypoacher]

Thanks Meeks. Happy travels to all of you as well.

if you dont mind what did you use for the thimble on the out side of the roof for the stove pipe i have a curved roof as well ? thanks

[duncans]

Beautiful trailer, very unique. The front lounge / ottoman looks like an indoor campfire!

If you don't mind answering, how many do you plan to house / sleep in your wonderful trailer?

I hope you had a great first time out.
