very nice setup, man...I have thought about this type of thing quite a bit...

I think I'd like to eventually build one with the tv's closer to the windows to avoid the angle problems with the beam....also would like a small dry storage area and a port a john behind a wall....may even put a small rv sink in where some of the liquor is...

very nice...

spankum the beam doesnt affect the view of the tvs. we went this way because we could have easily put the mounts on the other side of the post but we didnt any drunk arse to bump into the tvs. also we thought about the toilet thing but yet again there is always some drunk arse that will miss the toilet and piss everywhere in our trailer. the pic you are referring to is not a center pic and its at a bad angle. look at this link below to get a better idea that there is no obstruction at all.

i guess you really have to see it in person to realize that there is obstruction from the beam. you gotta realize drunk people taking pictures are not always the best pics either.

Is it possible to add a slip n' slide anywhere?

Or maybe you just need 2 or 3 topless women standing around to have that complete feeling..

This may be a dumb question, but how necessary is it to have the 2 "windows" on the side?
Why not cut the middle seperator out and make it one big window.
Much lighter to handle the way it is.

Desi, that's ONE SIC TG Trailer! Love it.

hadn't really thought of that....I suppose if you were to got that route, the pisser would have to be in a little area completely sealed off from the rest with a door of it's own...and a drain in the floor.....


fwiw...I moved away from monroe last year after living there for over a decade...

horndog someone did tell me a few months ago and they werent wrong. the first game we went to, they wouldnt let us setup in the levee lots. the CONSTABLE was misinformed. So we set up close to Kirby Smith. The florida game we set up again at the levee lots and parallel to the fence and the constable came by and said that this is a car lot and lsu doesnt allow trailers. HE said as long as we are just using one parking spot that we can use the trailer so we move the trailer the way in the picture. He also said for every tent setup, we had to have a vehicle in front or behind it. We eventually had that to.

I guess its understandable so you dont occupy alot of spaces.

Spankum my time is limited up here as well. I love it down south and I have been here my entire life and the people down south are friendlier. Some people are just too serious up here.

Looks great except for that column right in the middle.




Just kidding, wish I had one. Besides what does everyone expect you to do, remove the column and then watch your trailer collapse? Nice work!!!
