Here are a few pictures
of the new Pace Outback
trailer we bought for
just under $2000.00 . It
has a 6 X 10 ' box which
has just the right
amount of space we need
to store the things we
need to carry along with
us .... we had the
wonderfully nice folks
over at
Blaser Trailer Sales
install a ladder
rack which will hold our
solar panels and crafts
booth....we also bought
a LP Gas tank holder &
cover because it never
hurts to carry extra
cooking & heating fuel . |

I've built one of the
Shelf units and also
added a lower section to
the ladder racks that
will hold our new crafts
booth & a ladder...when
I have the time & extra
cash I'll
build the other
shelf/work table unit
and install that in the
trailer.
Note The 3rd picture
above shows the aluminum
1X2's I added to the
ladder rack and the 4th
picture shows our Crafts
Booth situated on the
lower section of the
Ladder Rack |

July 13th 2008 ...I built
the other shelf and
workspace section the
other day .... made sure
it was attached in a
strong way to the floor
and walls of the trailer
...then I added the
webbing with snap-locs
that we typically use to
secure stuff in our
rigs. We've found this
is a very good way to
secure stuff and works
much better than
bungee's do.
I attached the webbing
to the shelves by
cutting a tiny hole in
the webbing ,then pushed
a 1/4" bolt w/ a washer
through it ... drilled
out a hole in the shelf
and bolted the webbing
to it.
I also picked up a
couple of plastic hose
holders and bolted those
to shelving unit .
Still need to add the
webbing/snap-locs to the
bottom sections and when
that's done I'll start
on the interior lighting
and other electrical
details...
Note : I originally had
planned on buying shelf
units from the building
supply store ,but after
looking at them , I
decided the best route
to take was to build our
own units that were
specifically designed to
hold what we needed
.... as far as their
weight goes ....
I constructed the
shelves framing and
uprights out of 2x2"s
and the shelf tops out
of 1x2"s ,glued &
screwed together....so
they're very strong and
also lightweight in
comparison to the better
quality metal shelving
units .... |

12-volt
configuration....then

installed and working
