More slow progress.  Picked up a pair of Interstate 6v 232amp/hr batteries for power.  Topping off the charge in the garage right now before installing them.  These two batteries should be sufficient for a few days fishing with lights and furnace fan, but I still plan on a 400w solar setup on the roof so I never have to worry about power ever again.

The outer frame of the queen bed is welded up.  There's more bracing to do and sheeting to put on, but my truck is out of commission for a bit so I cant get the plywood to finish it up quite yet.  Im hoping to get the truck finished up tomorrow.  Im tossing a larger lift on it so I can really get through those snow drifts on the lake.  Haha.  Its pretty ridiculous actually, but I love it.

Pics to follow.

Nah, not really much going on with the trailer lately.  I just got back from a couple weeks on the west coast and now work will be consuming all my time for the next few months.  Well, work and hunting season.  Gotta fill the freezer!

I did hang the new metal locking cabinet on the one wall.


And I atleast placed the golf cart batteries in the trailer, although they arent hooked together quite yet.  I need to purchase a cable crimper to do it properly.


And I hope to maybe have some time to finish welding up the folding queen bed sometime in the next week or two, but no promises on that.  If I had to, I could take it fishing how it sits pretty comfortably.  I still need to finish the propane tank mount on the front of the tongue too.  Ugh.
