What did you do to your Toy Hauler today???

Just got new #2900 leaf springs to replace the old #2500 ones on my Adrenaline after breaking one on my return trip from Sturgis. Will also weld on some spring hanger side supports while I have things apart.

I got a Weber 1000 grill with legs and modified it with 15 ft of oxygen hoes and oxygen fitting that I had when I retired from the coal mine. Stakes tonight in my yard hooked up to the Toy hauler.

Replaced the OEM 235/80R16 LRE with 235/85R16 LRG

Completed Fan-tastic Fan install

Installed inline fuel filter for generator.

Replaced fuel station gas cap with locking gas cap.

The gauge on the generator remote start panel inside trailer doesn't work so far

My new Fuzion gas tank gauge for the "toys" doesn't work. In the shop now for that and a few other little things.

I got sick of having all my external storage in my 5th wheel waaaaay up front near the truck adding to my pin weight.

So I added a new external storage compartment near the rear of my trailer on the passenger/curb side. There is a ton of empty space between the skirt of the trailer side and the frame of the chassis. So figured I could add a floor and two walls and call it a box!

Step 1. Buy a door on ebay for 35 bucks that looks like it will fit. Done.

Step 2. Cut a big hole in the siding of my trailer and make some template for the box out of cardboard. - I will on need 3 pieces of metal to make this box, 1 for the floor(bottom) and 2 side pieces. the back and top of the box will utilize the trailer itself, and of course the front of the box is the door i bought.


Step 3. Box in the box! -I used 14 gauge mild sheet metal. Pay no attention to my amateur welds (they will hold!) As you can see in the picture I actually just welded on the "walls" to the underside of the outriggers. Less metal this way.



Step 4. Install the door and paint the bare metal. done and done.




I was able to put my 1.5 ton floor jack, 12 ton bottle jack, anderson levelers, some locks, and my steel cables I use to tie up the toys at night time. There is still quite a bit of room left over.

Only have about 75lbs of stuff in there, but that's better than 75lbs more in the bed of the truck.

Great idea. I have always thought there is such a waste of usable space back there. Do you have a link to the door you used? If not can you provide the dimensions of the door? Also what did you use to cutout the siding where you put the door?

Yesterday I washed and waxed it after the maiden voyage last weekend, Today I mounted 500 watts of solar panels on the roof. Im going to do the electrical later. I also replaced the defective fireplace that came with the camper.

I installed some shelving in the basement so I could store stuff on two levels. Our basement is pretty tall so if you want to use most of it you just have to stack so much stuff. Now I put the chairs and such on the shelf which leaves lots of room below them. Worked out great.
