NO more trailer
HI all, no need for a trailer any more, looking at the New Dodge Promaster Van, it" got twice the volume that my GMC Safari has, and its new. Just think of all the Jets that will fit in their.
The 136' wheelbase is 300 cu.feet at 10'x6'x5' high. Also 2 roof heights.

I'm getting one of these for my next trailer, cheaper than a trailer.

I just use a second hand people carrier with the seats removed in the rear.. This way you have the quality of a 'car' but the space of a van.
In the UK you can pick up one for around £1500

I've been telling the wife, that I'm going to find a used sprinter. I figure I can pick it up cheap, and put in basic living inside. Kind of like an industrial RV. I figure I can do it all for under $10k.

For those that go and always fly in the same club, instead of buying a trailer or a van have you ever thought about installing containers and use them as a warehouse were you can leave your planes ?
In our club we decided to do this some time ago and it has worked wonderfully. Instead of having all the planes at home and having the wife complaining every single day about the amount of space that your "toys" are using, and instead of exposing your models to some possible damage because of constant transportation, you just have your planes ready to fly at the club.

Yup and more cuts on the hands that summer than ever before. Boiling props to keep them from coming apart, Dry cells for lighting the glo plug, upgrading the Lil Satan to a TDEE .049, throwing up after putting too large a gas tank on the plane. Ambroid glue. Still remember how the fuel stung in the latest cut and how cold the hands got from the fuel in the winter. AHHH 12 years old and full of pizz and vinegar.
