Trailer assemblage

We arrived back in Ohio and couldn't wait to get started on building our camper.  Luckily we had a trailer kit waiting for us. It was a perfect way to get a lot done without having to go to the hardware store several times for those random pieces. It has directions for every step so we didn't have any decisions to make while we put it together.
It all came in three little boxes. 

There wasn't a knife in the garage but there was  a saw so we used the tool that we had  handy to  open the packaging.


Look, the tires!

And all the hardware included.

The frame is coming along nicely.

Adding the turn signal lights on the side. 

Ta-da!

    I'm so glad you're doing this. I'll be checking in hourly.

      Oh boy, I guess I need to get ready to update a little more frequently than planned!

      Ha, hourly is too much...! It's been a weekend of sketching, hinge research, and catching up with the families. :)

    Cool! Where did you order the trailer?

      Northern Tool, we ended up going with the slightly more expensive aluminum 5 x 8 ft trailer, mostly because there was a deal and the free shipping brought it closer to the price of the steel trailer of the same size. We had it shipped to Kelly's house and she got to convince the reluctant semi driver (who complained of hernias and gall bladder surgery) to help her unload the boxes.
