Headed to Tallulah River! Been once before and lived it. Gonna give trout fishing a go.

Gave my rig a good wash down this morning! Packed up and rigged two poles.

I suppose it is human solo. My dog will be joining!

What's your favorite River or body of water?

So the other day I finally stripped down this old 7ish x 14ft camper that's been sitting for years with the intention to use it for hauling some firewood logs. I was hoping to figure out the axle rating but couldn't find it anywhere. Would anybody happen to know? 6 lug with electric brakes 11inch drums, axle tube is 1.88 inch thick. Camper was an old pathfinder probably from the 60's-70's? Plan is to mount a truck box crane to help load the 2 rows of 7ft logs, one bundle up front and one towards the rear cut ends facing front to back. What would you do to make this a good functional log hauling trailer? I dont know if its an ideal frame. Main frame is 2 C-channels boxed in and welded to make a 2x4. Where should I add cross bracing? Any tips and suggestions appreciated. I'll be building this as I come across cheap material so cost shouldn't be based of new material otherwise I know it wouldn't be worth going this route

additional information I measured the steel trailer frame and the thickness measured out to 2.65mm which seems to translate to 12 gauge. The front A frame is 2x4 C channel boxed and welded in spots. There are three Z shaped cross members same metal thickness as the rest of the frame. Rear bumper is 4x4

Been a couple weeks. Been busy as fuck, but here we are 😅

Hey Everyone,

I’m trying to figure out if I can realistically back a 20 ft. long, 7 ft. wide pop-up camp trailer behind the fence using a Toyota Tundra.

I've attached an aerial view of the driveway area with dimensions. As you can see, next to the driveway, a green utility/electrical box is sitting right on the edge of the landscape, and a white utility box is to the left of it.

Do you think I can jackknife it in or maybe get it close and use a trailer dolly to get it all the way back in?

Appreciate any advice or tips before I purchase the trailer!
