Looking good! What are you planning for trim/flashing the wall to the sleeper?

I'll get some 4" L flashing bent up, it will be a pain to put on with the Multi round angles on the upper cab. Trying to get an axle on my 8X12 right now so this build will sit as is for a few weeks now.

Trying to find an old boat or light duty trailer, going to make it into a tip down.

Along these lines.

After having no luck on finding a trailer, and deciding that where I am taking it will require a snowmobile, not a truck to pull it out at the end of the season, I was able to source some snowboards for free and will be doing a runner setup with the snowboards, I will be sure to update with pictures when I get it done.

Got my skids on and the tow hitch, put the rubber floor in, she is ready to be flipped on its side and loaded on the trailer and taken to the lake.

Flipped it on the weekend and can pull it around by hand very easy, my snowmobile should have no troubles getting this beaut out to some very remote spots, plan on taking it out onto the lake this weekend.

In transport mode, loaded on the trailer and ready to get it to the lake. I'd say all in all I have less than $200 total invested into this shack, which IMO is a $700-$900 shack all day long.
