I got a kick out of this trailer... the show wound up being HUGE. This was down the street in my dentist's parking lot.
I could see missing that courtesy light very easily....yep, you got lucky white lol. I would of missed it for sure, unless it was specifically listed it under the fuse.


LOL, - Pool table has levelers, those will work for sure lol

I need to pull the bulbs out of it. The drivers side bulbs are either dead, or I pulled those already. For now, I wedged a penny in between the switch that the mirror "door".

EDIT: My garage is a mess..... geez!

You need another bay....with a lift.

I'm sure the wife will agree, just tell her it's a safety thing. Because it is....right.

She's already told me that after the kids are out, the backyard gets a garage.

Maybe a pole barn. My friend just put one up, and it's nice!

Tired of winter covers that don't last. Going to try making my own out of 18 ounce industrial coated vinyl for the travel trailer. Not a small task for a 35' trailer....needs to be done. Looking around for used sewing machine for the project...then learn I guess. How hard could it be lol.

Morning thinkers!!- yes, White, build a new garage…. A GREAT BIG GARAGE!!
It dont matter, see, if the kids are out, then it will be grandkids!!- ( ask me how i know this)

Note to self: put everything on swivel casters!
( makes its easier to clean, and flexibility to roll stuff out of the way when you need more room)
Hope you fellers have a safe day! TTYL!

I have my 20 ton press on casters now, but need to do it for my vice, bench grinder, and drill press. That vice is heavy! Don't know what it weighs, but it's not the best thing to carry out to the garage.



Brew, good luck on the sewing machine. The newer machines don't seem to be built as well as years past (like most things). My Wife is still using my Great Grandmother's Kenmore from the 50's. Just keep it oiled, and it runs like a champ. I did rewire it though... the old wiring was in sad shape.

Brew, get an old SInger. My grandmother was a professional seamstress for most of my life. She tried the newer models here and there but always swore by the old Singer.
