Haven't been doing to much to the trailer; but, I have set up some lighting.  The pod lights I got from Costco and the main lighting I made myself.  With both lights on you can see every nook and cranny.  Still waiting for some parts for the shelving.

Hi All:

If anyone needs dark glasses I will have some after I have my eyes fixed.

That means I will be fixed at both ends, no good to anyone but will be able to see.

Tongue box from Princess Auto online $99.00 plus tax, free shipping. Just laid it on the trailer for now.  It's not installed.

Looks good Bruce.
Same as mine but it was no longer stocked at Princess when I looked on line and the store wouldn't order one.You saved about $15 compared to mine.

Good storage for fuel/tools/jack/compressor etc.

Great job Bruce!  Just bought a Neo 6x10 yesterday.  Great job you're doing on yours.  With luck you'll see mine at the field in August!

Hey Les.. you got one yet?

More progress on my trailer.  Just about done.  All that's left are the hold downs for the aircraft. Picture 1 - Roof covered with White Knight roof coating.  Really reflects the sun and heat well.  I did a lot of research on this product and apparently it does not break down and peel compared to similar coatings.  You can also see the roof vent I installed in this photo.

Picture of tongue box mounted and the Trailer dolly.  The dolly is worth it`s weight in gold. Very easy to move the trailer.  At Princess Auto $60.00.

Picture showing the E-track, Table and wireless camera on the back wall.  The camera and light beside it (Seven LED Lamp) are on when the car lights are turned on.  The camera has a very wide angle lense and you can see everything very clearly in the trailer.  Gives great peace of mind should you hit a large bump and want to quickly check things out in back.  Camera was on sale for $100.00 at Canadian Tire.  It was a great deal.

This picture shows the Ac Outlets that can be connected to Shore, Generator or inverter Power.  You can also see the battery box and Inverter.

This is a picture of the Side Vents.  There are two, one on the Front, top, right side of the trailer and another on the Rear, bottom, left side of the trailer.  This creates a cross draft.  There is also a fan inside the trailer over the rear bottom vent.
