Yeah, I stole the title from a group on FB.
I've been inspired by that group and one of our own community members, Joshua Orchard, to try to setup a mobile RC hangar to carry my planes and gear back and forth to the field.
I really like going on overnight trips to flying sites which allows me to get the nice evening and morning calm air, as well as some night flying. And of course driving to locations that have multiple day events.
I have a large, 8'x16' cargo trailer conversion. It's got all the comforts of home, including a toilet and shower. But it's large and heavy. I have my little "teardrop" camper, but it's just a bit compact now that I've started flying larger planes. So I wanted my "Goldilocks Box" right sized cargo trailer. I went with an OLD Wells Cargo 6'x10'. It's compact and light, better on the fuel millage than the large camper, but big enough to fit my gas planes as well as a few of my larger 6s electrics.
I wanted it to have a workbench, some folding shelves like Joshua put in his, as well as some fixed shelves. The trouble was, the trailer I ended up with doesn't have a V-nose which is where many people put the work bench. It also doesn't have a side door, so the fixed shelves people usually put across the back of the trailer wasn't going to work. This also made it a bit cramped for placing some sort of bed into the trailer for me to sleep on while doing the multi-day trips.
I am happy with the solution I came up with. Let me know what you think.
