Between my computer woes and trying to build up HUGE GAF my time on NCKA has been pretty much nil.
I am on the GF's computer right now as mine is still a POS.
This is what has consumed a lot of my time. We bought an old camp trailer and cleaned it up pretty good.
Here's the short version, the end results:


Here's the detailed version. Gives an idea of how much work went into it.


I learned a TON and am ready to pimp another one geared just for kayak fishing and diving.

Hey, I was wondering what happened to you, not that I think of you all that often  :smt002, but I replaced my somewhat complicated anchor release setup with the super simple one you posted up not to long ago, and used it on Monday in a successful trip to the delta.

Wanted to thank you for that,

Very cool looking job on the trailer, GFs will get you outta the tent and up off the ground, mine did, and now I love that trailer, enjoy!!

Good looking stuff Tote. I did a similar re-do to an old ass pop up trailer. I actually am looking to add some racks to the top of mine so it can call toys! You need to install an external bottle opener like the trailer!

You weren't kidding Tote. I remember you bitching about working on that thing. You guys put a lot of work into it. Came out looking like a champ though. Nice job...

Tote,
That's one sweet trailer pimp :smt007
You just gave me an idea for an old 18 ft. Terry Taurus that is decaying on my property :smt001
A kayak dedicated camp trailer, I'm thinking yak and gear storage area below a living/sleeping area.
Any thoughts or ideas?

Mike:

I missed you man.  That looks great.  I have been thinking about trying to find something similar for staying out in Bodega in.  How much you pay for it?

What a cool little trailer!  I love the make over video, you really put some work into it.  Just put a couple racks on the roof for the kayaks and it will be perfect!

Hey TOTE!

Great to hear from you. Was wondering why we haven't heard from you in awhile. Great job on the trailer, that's a very nice little classic! I have an older 8' cab over that I'm planning to fix up. But, that project is far down the to-do list my wife has planned for me. :smt044

Great to see you posting again.
