November 23, 201411 yr Needed a small camper for hammer-ins. Built this Anvilstream camper from an old pop-up camper and stuff I had. Weighs about 600# empty, has a 1000# all up limit and tows great. I got 25.7mpg going to Quad State behind my S-10. I use a huge 400 watt heater and that warms it nicely:) It has screened windows from a truck topper and 3 computer pancake fans for an exhaust fan. tows very straight and nicely and gets lots of on road stares and photos.
November 23, 201411 yr LOL if I ever make a forging trailer I am going to steel you idea & run with it ! :D
December 11, 201411 yr Wonderful!...You are one of the few that can properly claim to eat, sleep and breathe blacksmithing! One could even say you have earned the right to be asleep on the job! You know that ptree? He's so skilled he can be at the anvil with his eyes closed..... :) Alan
December 11, 201411 yr Author ThomasP, Tsk tsk, you know I already made anvil hats, a working power hamer hat and a swage block hat. I needed a camper, that met the folowing requirements: 1. light. Weighs about 650# 2. cheap. Built with almost all salvage. The spray foam was not salvage:( 3. Needed to be warm and dry. works 4. Needed to make people smile. Works
