I have been trying to figure out what this rattle is it happens at random rpms no matter low or high if truck is driving down the road. if i lift off the gas and get back on it usually stops the noise for a bit. the odd thing is that it doesn't do it all the time and doesn't matter if engine is...

i more then likely will be useing the pop up its what i originally wanted so we have room for the dogs as well but could never find any cheap enough.

spent a little extra money on a much needed item to make it road worthy. the old 8" tires just dont cut it and were BADLY cracking and dry rotted so i upgraded it to 12" tires needless to say the stock fenders were to low lol gonna make up some new ones once i get the camper part built. old new

Way to put the pressure on lol JK thanks for subscribing :icon_cheers:

phase one is complete took and added some steel to strengthen the frame and added some pressure treated 1/2" plywood to act as a barrier for the camper to sit on and avoid road grime now i can start up on the actual camper :icon_cheers:

that be awesome thanks! well after a trip to the old mans LOL i came home with this not exactly what i wanted but couldnt pass up the price and with a little tlc will work just fine time to fire up the welder :icon_welder:

anyone know of any good places to get nice steel to build a trailer frame around NW ohio
