You should get a VW of some sort in the pics or the moderator might remove them.
Glad you found the trailer!

Actually, I think the "VW related" rule applies to uploading to your Samba gallery. Am I right?

I mounted my spare on the cross bar under the trailer. More out of the way there.

That's a great resource link! Cooking, recipes, camping secrets...thanks!
After all don't we all simply drive "tiny trailers" with engines? Plus I've shed occasional "tear drops" over mine (see also: Dometic and warm beer).

Be very careful Doug not to mix wild blueberries, maple syrup and Shreddies. It's a lifelong addiction and you may never ever go back home again!
I'm not completely sure on the "rules " for pictures. It seems to vary. Your best bet is to photo shop a VW emblem on the trailer pic. hehe.
It was nice enough outside today to work on my trailer...but I didn't.

The Rule is: Brians' pics get deleted, any more questions?

Brian,
OK I've gotta try that but clarify. Is that in addition to milk like you'd normally eat Shreddies (actually soy in our house, but...)? Or literally blueberries, syrup and Shreds?

This reminds me of an old Flinstone's episode where Fred took a knock on the head and became a Don Juan. All the other husbands in Bedrock were angry because he was making them look bad by comparison. Your trailer's looking nice... now I have to paint mine and make it look respectable. Good job!
FWIW: As ugly as mine is, I used pressure treated wood for the cleats to attach the sides to the bottom and corner reinforcements, and redwood for the rim. As I said before... I haven't had weathering problems with mine despite the fact that it's mostly unpainted and sits in the weather year round.
