Home with the goodies
I wasn't certain the 22' trailer I came up with was going to be adequate for all the cargo, but it turned out to be just enough. Everything fit comfortably, and all the scrap wood I packed along to build a loft inside the trailer for a second layer of storage was left with the seller; Todd cut it up for kindling. We loaded everything in two hours and had it all snugged down tight. The rain hit the next morning and dogged us the whole way home through the WV mountains.
This is the load-out in progress, my friend and pastor Steve Noel lending his considerable trailer-packing expertise.
This is what a complete RV-10 half-built (to just beyond the QB stage) kit will fit inside of, out of the weather. 22' by 8' enclosed car hauler and a short-bed half ton pickup.
Steve and I celebrate our safe arrival home with the 10, none the worse for wear. My buddy was a little more laid-back than I was. It's hard to hide how pumped I am to be staring this next chapter in the face! Normally a 16.7 mpg daily driver, my Dodge 5.7 hemi delivered just 11 mpg hauling that trailer to Ohio and back.
The 10 arrives through the same door she will leave through in a few years, Lord willing and the Creeks don't rise (pesky Indians are the least of my worries
) Now, if these carpenters will ever finish my basement workshop and be done with our house! We're here on a temporary certificate of occupancy and the perpetual finish-work seems endless, along with the mud everywhere.
...The unforeseen journey continues, and I'm a blessed man.
