What part of the San Bernardino desert do you live in?
I used to live south of you in El Centro.
Moved to Northern Califonia few years ago.
We've got mallards all over the this place but I sure miss my friends and flying buddies from down south.

I'm familiar with it. We used to live in Ridgecrest.
Second best place we ever lived.
Retiring in 5 to 10, thinking of heading to Tucson.
Back to the desert and out of CA.

The trailer looks great, keep having fun.

I did a build thread on the car as it was being built.....

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_1440871/tm.htm

I retired about 6 years ago at 55....building the car was one of the things I really
wanted to do in this lifetime.

FBD.

the plywood sides of the trailer.

Status: offline 		Dave, that is incredible. My wife and i just bought a 6X12 enclosed for hauling around her stuff to craft shows. She does barn board art (birdhouses, benches, potting benches, picture frames etc....) and there wasn''t enought room to put it all in the back of the truck. am going to do a similar set up to what you have except i will have to add plywood to the walls. Right now its only the thin panel board on the inside. That is without a doubt the nicest set up trailer i have ever seen.

Cheers

Geoff

Status: offline 		That trailer of yours is just amazing!
I bought a 12 foot cargo hauler to haul a couple Harleys to Ridgecrest from Aberta, Canada in 2006, when my wife and I were working at NAS China Lake. We both loved the area and spent lots of time exploring the High Desert and the Sierras (where it was cooler). Worked really well and I have been thinking lately that I might make some changes with it so I can haul my Planes around. If you don't mind, I would like to incorporate some of the exellent contrivances that you have so masterfully concocted.

Cheerz,
Dave
