Stealth trailer REBORN!

I am happy to report I have found a new stealth trailer!! Almost identical to the first, with barely noticeable differences!! And it was at a great price-----$2000!!! It was setting in Marietta, GA and is in fact brand new, has 30 amp power, as well as a rooftop air conditioner! The guy that had bought it was planning to use it as a base for his RC planes hobby, but he unfortunately passed away in February, and never even got to use it!

He had spent $3700. having it built, but his wife offered it back to the builder, who contacted me.....I snapped it up fast, and it was delivered Tuesday.....its a beauty!! Pics coming soon....I look at it as a bare platform, to design the way I want! Changes over the first I had, lessons learned from it that will be changed this time around.....example--a larger propane tank on the tongue, to eliminate those EXPENSIVE 1 lb. LP cylinders used for heating.....linoleum over the floor rather than stain...possibly even carpet....

A new wind turbine mast is being shipped and should be in today!! The mounts for the solar panels are already in place, and new solar panels are expected today as well!! Bought a new wind turbine last week on Ebay, and it is here---a 400 watt 12 volt tri-blade.

On a temporary hiatus from work, but have to be in Tennessee the 16th of this month for a couple weeks, then the schedule is up in the air....gives me time to work on the new trailer.....

  1. Yay John!

    Did you also order a concrete bunker to store the thing in? Or how about rigging it up to electrify anyone who tries to put their greedy little hands on it :)

    1. No, not rigging up a "hotwire" to it....however, I paid the insurance for a year ahead, to be on the safe side!
