Okay guys here is a pictorial diary of my quest to
build my own version of the Ultimate Camping trailer. It was something
that I have taken on some 16 months ago and I am still going. I have
access to a mates workshop and can only work each week on Saturday
morning so hence the timeline to complete. I will start from the
beginning and over the next few nights complete the build description to
where I am today....I hope you all enjoy the read and feel free to
comment.
