So ... I finally got around to starting my TT build. I started by getting this off of Craigslist:

I am not sure if this the correct place, but it didn't seem to fit anywhere else. Basically it is a utility box mounted on a trailer frame. It currently opens at both ends. The "cargo" area is 4 feet wide and 8 feet 4 inches long. This will eventually be the "living area". As I have never owned a trailer before, this is a big project for me, so I will undoubtedly have many questions.
Fist step was a good washing, and most of the paint came off. I think they used latex house paint.
Next I removed the "rack" and various screws and bits that were attached for no real reason that I could see.
The next step is to get a small mountain of primer paint and paint remover and start stripping it down to bare metal so I can begin "rust rescue".
The current axel and hubs function, but I will be changing it out as I do not trust the less than stellar weld job that is currently holding it on to the frame. Any advice or comments are always welcome.
