i've been acquiring parts for the old truck.
also i've been looking around for an older trailer to rebuild..
just in case, i don't find a trailer shell to rebuild. i've been researching newer tech for construction materials. the fiberglass (walls) and alumnium (floor and roof) honeycomb panels look like they would be a lot stronger than 3/4-1" plywood and weigh about the same as 1/4" plywood.
i'm also thinking of building a captains bunk like what is used on older ships for the convertible couch. that would give me more space for other conveniences. like a larger fridge, food storage and closet space…
by the time i get the old truck on the road, i should have all of my ideas, floor plan and materials sources found and the cost priced out for the trailer...
