Its certainly built like brick outhouse. Tomorrow its going to take more than me to roll it over onto its two wheels. Maybe over engineered it cause well I'm not an engineer. But hey better safe than sorry right? I got my main two rails cut and laying on it, and then I had a offcut left over and draped that out the front for the draw bar. I thought it looked to long but I then went to @Archetypes place and messured his car trailers one and it was like 1.7 to the tip of the draw bar from the edge of the trailer. Also messured another car trailer it was 1.4 to the tip. Give me something to base mine off. Tomorrow cut those peaces cleaner and weld the spring stuff and put some wheels on it. Roll it over.

shot to @nvmyvl for the section of box. my stubs where a little to big for the inside of it so i gave old @Geophy a call and asked if he had a lathe close by. turns out it was only just down the road from his home, so across town i went. as you see here the shaft it to large for the hole (thats what she said) his big machine, it ford the stuff to make swarf one done, one more to go yeah ill weld that in. now that its welded in i shull drill down and plug well this bitch as well all done. thing keeps on popping the multi box fuse, but that im not going to worry about as i know its getting all the heat in it. things bloody smoking hot which im happy about so im currently waiting for it to cool down so i wont set anything on fire while it rest on my bench at the other end. i also got to hot so i went to mcds and got a double strawberry sunday. so good.

day two of caravan floor done done done. some how i have made it a little smaller than on my drawings but meh i'm not going to lose sleep over it also ended up welding a mates exhaust together and drank some waikato. Hopefully tomorrow i will pay a visit to @nvmyvl and grab the 50x50 for the axle. also brought four 14 inch steelies from @Geophy for 30 bucks and i got my white wall tyres back from @MRWEST after lending them to him about 2 years ago so he could get a cert on his imp. so good is good. hell yeah

@sentra when are you back from your holiday? wanting to come down and drink some beers and over heat my welder and pick up a lenght from this gc?
-
Oh man. That would be so legit. After something around the 1.8 - 2 meter mark. Let me know how you get on.
-
Yeah this is brilliant. Thing does like 140kmph according to its last speedo.
-
Im going to agree with you. Stretch this bad boy. It was honestly my 1st thought why didn't he stretch this guy as well. Thing is going to be bad ass.

sorry don't do waffle cones. keeping it simple don't want to have to much to clean up after all and wont have space to keep them in my small caravan. I'll keep it sort. not going to share my hole business plans, layout and ideas here mainly the caravan building part. the rest you guys can think about and tell yourselves you would do it different. anyway. pretty good day building caravan and grinding curtain. started on the floor after the curtain and got around the inside on the wheels all sorted @flyingbrick pointed out caravan 2 but meh then i decided to lay it all out gotta clean up the ends in the morning and then get welding and figure out where and how im going to brace the floor. steel and tube done open till the 7th so gotta keep myself occupied for a bit before i can buy the steel for the axle.
-
Yeah plan on doing cold drinks as its quite an easy product to store and keep cool in a couple of small fridges, not much cleaning down involved in that one. The coffee is for down the track when money is recouped and in the colder months for when ice cream and cold drinks isn't selling in the middle of winter should be able to offer a hot coffee instead of a cold ice cream. Edit: I don't plan on running this my self I will be putting staff in it as I do upholstery and enjoy doing that. Unless I'm heading to a car show and I'll be there anyway.
-
Money and business. Stuff is pretty hardcore in general.
-
Going to do rolled ice creams. It's just the man I am. Will probably do soft drinks and coffee as well. Soft surve and real fruit is nice but I'd rather not the extra cost of machines. I think I might have to head over to the coffee chat room and read about coffee as well.
-
also this is what i have got my measurements from (well trade me) its 4.1 long and 2.1 wide im going to go 2.2 wide, once i line the inside and allow the box section it will be close to 2.1 inside. And 4.05 long as thats what size the acm product comes. this caravan is also 2.2 tall again making it close to 2.1 inside standing up
-
its actually welding curtain pvc material. i ordered a bunch in for myself when the rep showed me it. this stuff comes 1.9 tall and on how ever much you want or need. the size of my certain that i made is 1.4 x 1.8 meters only having to fold and sew the edges 50mm but could easily make a taller one, or join it to make a bigger one. hope that helps @Early jap nuter

Pretty sure the bike shop next to me has the same exhuast set up as mine which would be a legit upgrade for you. Your going to have a ball. Such a great scoot.
-
Yea I ain't baller enough to buy a car trailer and then make it useless. That's just me steeling @Archetypes trailer so we could move the steel from one location to the next. Turns out his trailer is also about the right size I want to build my caravan so will use his trailer for a few messurements as well.
-
i had planned on building this in steel, including the main hoop. to end up searching trade me for some windows while I amm meant to be working and come across this. built all in wood...... dont know how i really feel about this. have also started a spread sheet on what i priced a few things up verse how much i end up spending all up. visited a mate who works at TWL in hamilton and picked this up this morning too. 5x114.3 i have a set of 15 inch globes here for the dummy fit but ideally i think i would like a set of old 15 inch steelies painted black with some white walls. has anyone got two 15 inch steelies laying around that would like to trade for some ice cream?

Hi my names Greg, You may know me from such places as Gregs Ice Cream. https://www.facebook.com/Gregsicecreams/ Or other places like Midnight Upholstery Ltd, Greg's drag snags and so on. Anyway the time has come. I got sick of bidding on rubbish caravans and them blowing out of budget so its now my turn to build one that will hopefully stay under budget. Well really it started with liking ice cream and realizing how easy it is to buy ice cream and it takes nothing to sell it, and a word to my accountant while the wife was with me it wasn't to hard to twist @Mrs 64valiant arm into allowing me to get the go ahead on it. And yeah caravans going out of budget, so time to build a caravan. I ended up drawing what i thought would look good on the floor at the shop, its based of a size of caravan i was looking at buying Worked out how much steel i would need and worked a price on everything else and got the go ahead. let the fun begin. ideally would like up and running before the end of Feb and the very latest March

I went drag racing and had a ball. Poo man's small 135 was so much faster than my 200. God dam I need to do some mods to this thing and make it come alive. 10 outa 10 was still heaps of fun. @Poo what did you mention when I was at retro scooter the other day.

you mean if you will blend in with the unwanted attention of 20+ noisy old crusty bikes making a ruckus around town you will be fine.

Ok this is the thread I was ment to drop it in. Supercharged 12a rotary. Pretty cool.
