Alaskan mounted to cargo trailer!

So I had an awesome write up about my project in this new thread...then adobe flash did something weird and the entire lengthy write up evaporated. 

So here's the short version...lol. Bought a late sixties 8' NCO, mounted it to a new 6' x 8' trailer from Tractor Supply. Cut the rails off of the cargo trailer, built a 3/4" square stock frame, skinned it in white aluminum, and mounted vintage cargo doors and vintage vent doors purchased at an RV salvage yard. Done.

I love the post WWII era 1945 - 1949 so I wanted to give the interior that look...without modifying the inside of the trailer. I kept it 100% original...and added a vintage radio, 1940's wall art, and tropical barkcloth curtains that I made myself. I learned through this experience that I HATE to sew...lol.

Anyway, here's the pics. Enjoy and please feel free to ask questions or comment. 

Here's a few more pics:

This was just after it was mounted too the trailer. 

All of the black tubular railing was cut off afterwards.

nice job......a different approach

In 1951, my grandmother entered me in a drawing at a local grocery store in San Leandro Ca.....I won, and went home with exactly that radio....spent a good part of my childhood glued to that bakelite radio...especially Saturday mornings listening to a program called "Big John and Sparky"...some real serious memories right there...thanks for the ride!!

Looks great, enjoy.

I likey.  My envy is deeply green.

Great job, it reminds me of a retro version of my sister's Hi-Lo.

Rusty, thanks for the radio story...that's awesome. I bought the radio on eBay. I love the looks. 

thisoldcamper - WOW it does look like the retro version of the hi-lo. 

Thanks for all the great comments. 

I love the idea, and everything that you have done looks professionally done.

I am hoping to purchase my first Alaskan camper in the next few weeks. The camper is located in another state, and putting it on a trailer would be a great way for me to get it home.
