I'm not sure what I'm doing there yet Pat.  I'm going to experiment with leaving an inch or two of overhang from the roofing and bending that over the corner.  I don't see any tags on the brakes.

Yep it looks like it needs replaced to me. Did you have the manufacturer, make and model of the trailer? That should be all you need to find your parts. Call a local boat/trailer repair shop. They will be able to point you the right way.

The camper sure is looking good buddy! I'm a little concerned about the amount of weight that's on the tung though. You might have to get a load leveler. They are used on the tung to help distribute the weight so it's more on the trailer axel instead of your rear suspension. You should be able to find one at an rv shop. And I think Harbor freight has them,  not sure.

Some Rusty old Barn Tin would sure look good on it....

Pat B:  I do plan to be there.  Maybe with the Wife.
          She wont shoot or work on Bows.  She will talk and talk and talk.
          If she would ever just show up she would fall in love with the Classic. 
          Did I mention that She loves to talk. ;D

I looked at some rusty old barn tin but it had holes in it and looked like more trouble than it was worth.

I would take you up on that offer.  I need the little overhang pieces for above the door and windows.

I got the siding put on the other side today.  It's ready for a roof now.  Might try to get started on that tomorrow.  I'm loving the looks of the barn siding.  I had just enough full length boards to finish both sides.  I had 7 left over but they all had issues.  I'm using shorter pieces for the doors.




I put a couple 1x12's on the front of the storage area.  I don't want the load sliding forward if I have to stop suddenly.  I need to get a 1x8 and some plywood to get the box enclosed.  When I finish the interior I'll cover up the 1x boards with whatever I put on the walls.

I'm planning on the shudders and want to make the door look like an old barn door somehow.  I was thinking something like this.

You might consider putting a couple access doors in those 1x12's. It would be handy if you aren't hauling Osage and use that area for storage.

I'm going to hing the the top of the bed frame to allow access into the storage area.  I want the front to be secure to keep anything from sliding forward.
