Working with Jeff at HEO to finalize the financing and build of a T3 for use with the Sanctuary, adventure camping for DV survivor families, and some private use for myself since I will be making the payments.
Jeff has been amazing! Turning the numbers to make this happen! Later this year I may be doing a LOT more adventures.
I have chatted with a couple of T3 owners and they love their trailers.
Here's the model I'm going for.

Camp at the Hoh River
Did a little work on it today. The white sides and back areas are now back, the LED tail light strip is on and ready for me to wire up in the morning.
Awesome !
It's home, finally! Pics from on the way home. Left home at 12AM saturday morning, round trip to Montana, and home at 6pm. That was brutal. I'm going to sleep well tonight.
East of Vantage
Somewhere in Montana
One more day... and a few hours... I'll be on the road to Montana around 1am Saturday morning to pick it up!
Just six more days! I'm so excited. The last time I did something for myself like this was many years ago. I have been so busy getting the Sanctuary running, funded, and somewhat stable, that I just have not had the time or money to focus on me at all. While this trailer will be used with some of the kids from the sanctuary, it really is for me. I can't wait to test it out at the Hoh August 3rd.
YEA!! the finished trailer will be dilivered in MOntana on the 28th for me to pick it up... Just in time to get it ready for NWOL on the Hoh!! Pretty excited, I have the time from the 27th of July through the 7th of Aug off from work! plenty of time to get the trailer home and ready for camping!
I think it needs a huge NWOL sticker across the back...
SO freaking stoked!
Sweet!
My trailer is built... Now I just gotta get it home so I can "make it mine"! Going to need to find someone who can paint a forest on the sides of it for me...
7/10/18, A few more minor touches and the RTT will make it complete and ready for shipping.
Jeff at HEO says it should be complete in the next few days! Then the shipper will get it for delivery the last week of July, so I should have it for the Hoh trip! Now I just have to figure out the rest of my gear.. Really need a good cooler, but the really good ones are out of my price range for now.
It has tires now! and tail lights too...
Looking more like a trailer! Standing on it's own now. I'm getting kinda hyped to get this on/off the road!
Very shiny
Newest image.
It has some side panels, and a hitch thingie... "Lock N Roll" hitch...
AND, Fenders....
It has a floor...
and an access door for when I add a battery system...
Thinking the backside of this door will be a good place to mount a biggass first aid kit with a fold down shelf.
Since I paid for the electrical system upgrade (7 pin harness, terminals for later additions etc). Jeff at HEO did the access door free of charge. He's pretty awesome with customer service and such. Really keeps me updated daily with the build progress.
