Well, I'm not in NE anymore but I want one too! And Jake, send me some PVC pipe! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Timbo--The wood blocks on the trailer are actually so that the boat clears the fenders. (Oley built the trailer himself) The dolphin stricker clears the box by about 8 inches and the boat by about 16. Hope that helps.

Every time I hear a story like this I wonder if someone else found some "Cycle-Campers" in the corner of a warehouse.

In the 80's there was a company in that general area that made a tiny popup camper designed to be towed behind a motorcycle. It did not sell very well and the company went under.

These things were the perfect size to fit between the hulls of a catamaran. I knew a couple of people who did that. I bought one from a dealer real cheap, with the intent of mounting it on my trailer. A friend begged a lot and I sold it to him to mount like a tool box in the bed of his pickup.

We later found these things did not like water. They would fall apart if you got them wet launching your boat.

I have not seen one in years, I suspect they fell apart when people parked them outside like they were real trailers.

Well Mary, I know you're refering to the seminar held at Lake Perry (Kansas) but for the life of me I've don't recall any of these campers. Carl, you're probably right they must have been junk.

I've been scheming on a quick/safe way to put the double stack rails on an old pop-up trailer. The tent thing is getting old (or wait, maybe that's me getting old).

Shoot me an email: velocitytrey (at) gmail.com and I'll fill you in.
Anybody else want in? I've got to get 5 people before I will run the order.

How much do they weigh? My pvc sail tube weighs in at something like 180...too heavy.

180? Is that loaded? My PVC tube (12" schedule 40 not the light stuff) weighs less than 1/2 that! Just a little less than my aluminum box I made.

These units for camping have intrigued me. They are Australian and my cousins all have them there. Seem to be very well built. 3 dog camping

I picked up BVining's box for him a few months ago from Trey's house.... I could not believe how light they were! It can easily be moved my one person (although two is nice because of the size). I think Trey said it was only about 25-30 lbs!
If my wishlist wasn't already so long i'd be getting a box myself for sure.

These boxes weigh in somewhere between 30-40 lbs. They are extremely light, but they are still pretty stiff. I've laid on top of mine before.
Who else wants one?

What we need to develop is a sailbox that when fully opened, turns into a tent and a bar, for the regattas! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

the lunchboxes are the best trailer box you can currently find on the market. Not only because of their quality, but because of the cost compared to its inferior products.

Its on my shortening list of "things".
