Just a quick note on the trailer modifications. I need to add width to support the caravan at the front of the trailer. It's either that or make the whole caravan shorter which I'm totally not into. The section behind the tongue, at the front of the trailer will house the back of the caravan where the bunk bed will be. I want to make sure that this section is well supported so I'm going to weld in 4"x1.5" C-Channel like the rest of the trailer is constructed of. I'll also need to add a horizontal rail at the front of the wheel wells. In addition to all that, the existing horizontal rails are not currently flat like in the picture below, they are v-shaped, dropping to a point about 8" down in the centre. I will need to cut these off of the trailer, cut them in half, remove the miters, weld them back together and weld them back into the trailer flat. As soon as I get good weather and don't have to work on a weekend, I'll get this done. From there, I'll remove all soft parts and wiring, sand-blast the entire frame, prime and paint. I need to consult the designer on a colour for the trailer.

What's that in centimeters? Only joking. What about trying to match it to the dark blue/grey of the beetlekill? x
S-L, this would have been a great idea. I'm still open to other options if we can find a paint as durable as Chassis Saver in a different color.
Baby, no, I typically spend my summers here in Denver but thanks for the invite! That's really quite impressive, you should send me a link.
